Marine Pumps Article
Marine Pumps are pumps which are subjected to shipbuilding classification society rules regarding their application, construction, and testing. The term marine pumps covers a vast array of pump applications on board vessels and offshore structures. Varying features of marine pumps include:
Pumps with differing frequencies (50/60hz) and voltages
Self Priming due to long suction pipework which can be untraceable at times
Manometers and vacuometers to check suction and discharge pressures
Suitable for narrow spaces with pumps
Vertical execution as spaces are often limited horizontally but vertical space is more readily available
Bulkhead penetrations with pump drive being connected through the structure
Spacer coupling to enable pumps which are crucial to the operation and have long-running periods to be maintained in situ quickly without removal of the motor
There is a vast array of marine applications that can be used for marine pumps which are located above.
