Product Information :

The Burks T330WPT5A-AI is an All Iron Self Priming Centrifugal Pump with a Cast Iron Impeller, Viton/Carbon/Ceramic/SS Mechanical Seal, 2 Inch NPT Inlet Port, 2 Inch NPT Outlet Port, close coupled to a 3 Horsepower, 3500 RPM, 230/460 Volts, 3 Phase, TEFC Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled, 60Hz Motor. These WT5 Series pumps have rugged Swimming Pool type motors with oversize ball/ball bearing construction. Three phase motors must be installed with a magnetic starter which provides full 3-leg protection. Failure to use correct starter and overloads will void motor warranty. This pump is the non-standard All Iron version, which is fitted with a Cast Iron Impeller for greater abrasive resistance than the standard Bronze impeller. This line of Burks Self-Priming Centrifugal pumps feature a Non-Clogging, Cast Iron Semi-Open Impeller, and mechanical Viton seals for pumping Perchlorethylene and other fluids with specific gravities of 1. 62 S. G. The pump shaft seal is a Viton mechanical carbon face type mated to ceramic wear face for maximum durability. The Viton fluoroelastomer is a good Solvent Mechanical seal for oils, fuels, lubricants, most mineral acids, and many solvents that attack other rubbers such as Carbon Tetrachloride, toluene, benzene, and xylene. These Self Priming Pumps require very little attention, resulting in significant savings of maintenance time and money and making them a sensible solution for industrial and municipal applications. While this pump can be run dry for short periods of time, a lack of liquid will damage the Mechanical seal. Self priming centrifugal pumps must be operated in the horizontal position. Centrifugal pumps are designed for single rotation and are non reversible. Standard rotation is counter clockwise looking at the pump inlet port (clockwise facing pump shaft). The wetted materials in contact with the liquid are Cast Iron, 303 Stainless Steel, and Viton. The dimensions of this pump are 18 inches long, 9-1/8 inches high, and 6-7/8 inches wide.

Applications

This is a robust, longlife Cast Iron, General Purpose, Self Priming Centrifugal pump, with high efficiency and flow, designed specifically for pumping Perchlorethylene and other fluids with specific gravities of 1. 62 S. G. SUCTION LIFT PRIMING A foot valve should be used for priming on suction lift applications. The foot valve, located at the end or foot of the suction piping, functions as a check valve and allows flow in one direction only, toward the pump. Otherwise, all the liquid will drain from the pump and suction piping back into the sump after shutdown. Initial priming is accomplished by completely filling the suction piping and pump casing with the liquid to be pumped. This can be done by removing the priming plug at the top of the pump casing, and inserting a pipe nipple in the orifice with an appropriate increaser to accommodate a hose connection. A priming line can also be inserted in the discharge piping between the check valve and the pump, or the priming can be done with a bucket and funnel. The important thing is to completely fill the suction pipe and pump casing with liquid. When the pump is started, the vacuum created by pumping the priming fluid, combined with atmospheric pressure in the liquid well, forces liquid into the suction piping, thus opening the valve and keeping it open until the pump is shut down. When the pump is shut down, the liquid being pumped reverses its flow causing the valve to close. The liquid is now trapped in the suction piping and pump casing, thus maintaining a prime on the pump.
