Goulds 3196 Pump Tips
Oil requirements based on temperature.
For the majority of operating conditions, bearing temperatures run between 49°C | 120°F and 82°C | 180°F, and you can use an oil of ISO viscosity grade 68 at 38°C | 100°F. If temperatures exceed 82°C | 180°F, refer to the table for temperature requirements.
Temperature Oil requirement
Bearing temperatures exceed 82°C | 180°F Use ISO viscosity grade 100 with bearing-frame cooling or finned-tube oil cooler. The finned-tube oil cooler is standard with the HT 3196 model and optional for all other models. Pumped-fluid temperatures exceed 177°C | 350°F Use synthetic lubrication.
Note: Turbine oils are non-detergent oils. These are used because they do not suspend particles and this keeps particles from getting into the bearings.
To aid in contaminant separation, most turbine oils do not contain additives with detergents or dispersants to clean and carry away contaminants because Turbine oils are not exposed to fuel or soot and therefore do not need to be filtered or replaced on a regular basis.

Increasing competition for water resources has made water conservation a priority. Measuring the flow rate of water is the first step to good water management and can also be very important when installing lawn sprinklers.
The easiest way to measure flow rate is with a flow rate meter. However, if one is not available, there are ways to measure the cubic feet per second (cfs) flowing through your pipes by using formulas or tanks and stopwatches.

Demand for highly engineered materials in process industries follows from the need for reliable equipment and accessories, for optimum service life with seldom-interrupted operations.
Product development today benefits from computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided engineering (CAE) and product-lifecycle management (PLM) disciplines, allowing a level of automation, analysis and documentation never before possible.
Nevertheless, failure to understand the crucial role of proper metallurgical controls from design through manufacture can lead to increased failure rates and production loss. Material selection and processing are critical — for new product development and for redesign upgrades for service or reliability improvement.
Material selection from numerous options requires careful evaluation of their properties for suitability. Factors such as economy, service compatibility, manufacturability, mechanical properties, corrosion — wear resistance and availability are to be considered prior to specifying the material for a given application. If selection is carried out haphazardly, the best material options may be ignored. Risk can be reduced by adopting a systematic material-selection procedure through verification testing.
In a broad sense, material selection is optimized by communication feedback between the field and manufacturer on performance, considering investment and operations and maintenance costs, to minimize total cost while ensuring acceptable safety and reliability.
