RESP73H

Application of ASME B73.1 – 2020 Specification for Horizontal End Suction Centrifugal Pumps for Chemical Process

Abstract ↓

Scope The purpose of this Practice is to specify the requirements for design and manufacture of horizontal end suction centrifugal pumps. The requirements in this Practice are modifications, additions, and/or deletions (exceptions) to the requirements in ASME B73.1 - 2020. The section/paragraph numbers and the associated headings used in this Practice correspond to the ones used in ASME B73.1. Since this Practice does not take exception to all the requirements in ASME B73.1, the section/paragraph numbers in this Practice may not be sequential. Data sheets PIP RESP73 D and PIP RESP73-DM, appended, may be used to select options for ordering the pumps specified in this Practice. This practice is intended for chemical and hydrocarbon services and does not cover pumps sealed with packing. For general water services that fall out of the limitations of this practice use PIP RESP003H.

ELEGL07

Electric Motor Voltage Dip Impact Mitigation

Abstract ↓

Electrical systems will experience electrical events in the form of voltage dips and outages. Depending on the magnitude and duration of these electrical events, electric motors can drop offline. The unexpected loss of an electric motor in a production unit can cause personnel safety issues, environmental issues, and loss profit opportunities (LPO). This Practice provides information which can be used to develop the basic premises on which to implement a voltage dip impact mitigation program to help overcome the adverse effects of production units dropping offline. The voltage dip impact mitigation program addresses the application of both under-voltage ride-through and under-voltage restart capabilities which should be added to the controls of electrical motors.
