1 Scope
This CEN Technical Report provides information for the calculation of maximum permissible forces and moments
allowed on the flanges of various types of horizontal and vertical shaft rotodynamic pumps, caused by the reaction to
pipework that is rigidly connected to the installation. This document does not take into account the effect of any elastic
or deformable linkages, such as bellows, elastic joints, self butting sliding joints, etc.
This CEN Technical Report is not applicable to multistage monobloc pumps, whose outlets are remote from the
installation plane, or to horizontal shaft pumps mounted vertically for installation reasons, such as, fixing to a vertical
wall.

3 Responsibilities of manufacturer and purchaser
3.1 General
The manufacturer should inform the purchaser of the family to which the equipment offered belongs.
The purchaser should calculate the loads applied to the pump at its flanges, considered for all possible relevant
conditions (at ambient temperature, at operating temperature, at rest, under pressure).
The purchaser should ensure that the values of these loads do not exceed the corresponding calculated limits for the
pump selected. If they do, the pipework should be modified to reduce the loads, or a different type of pump, capable of
withstanding higher loads, shall be selected.
Both parties should agree on the type of baseplate to be provided (conventional, reinforced, concrete, etc.).
The basic values given in Tables 2 and 5 and Annex B correspond to the most common sizes of pumps; for larger
sizes of pumps, the manufacturer shall indicate the limiting values.
3.2 Design considerations

Excessive loads transmitted to a pump by the piping can compromise smooth running and reduce the life of the pump,
the coupling and perhaps the motor bearings, increase the demand for maintenance and, in the extreme, will cause
failure. These adverse effects result from two distinct causes:
 displacement of the pump shaft end relative to that of the driver. The misalignment will overload the pump and
driver bearings and, when a flexible coupling is used, increase its rate of wear.
4
PD CEN/TR 13931:2009
CEN/TR 13931:2009 (E)
 distortion of the pump casing, changing the internal clearances between the fixed and rotating parts, thus
increasing wear and vibrations, sometimes leading to seizure. If mechanical seals are installed, parallelism of
the faces will be upset, causing leakage and rapid breakdown.
It is for these reasons that limits must be set to the external forces and moments acting on the flanges. Manufacturers
are responsible for verifying that the pump offered will operate satisfactorily when these limits are not exceeded.
4 Criteria adopted in setting limiting forces and moments
4.1 Shaft-end movement

The lateral displacement of the shaft-end, relative to a fixed point in space, is given in Table 1 for the various pump
families, as a function of shaft size.
Table 1 — Criteria for forces and moments limitations
Type of pump Families Shaft-end diameter Displacement

(mm) (mm)
Standard (N) 1A, 1B < 30 (N24) 0,15

Modular 3A 31-40 (N32) 0,20
4A, 4B > 40 (N42) 0,25
Other horizontal 2, 3B, 3C ≤ 50 0,125

Pumps 5A, 5B > 50 0,175
6, 7, 8A, 8B, 8C > 50 0,175
Vertical pumps All All 0,150

(20A-36B)
4.2 Distortion of the pump casing
It is the responsibility of the pump manufacturer to verify that the loads applied on the flanges, in any of the
permitted combinations, do not cause greater changes in internal clearance or disturbances to the mechanical
seals than are allowed by his own design rules or those of the specifications imposed by the user, whichever are
the more stringent.
4.3 Validity of force and moment values – Effects of materials and temperature
Unless indicated otherwise, the values for forces and moments are given for the basic material for the pump family (see
Tables 2 and 5) and for a maximum permissible temperature as shown. For other materials and higher temperatures,
the values shall be corrected by applying the modulus of elasticity relation, namely:

5.1 Definition of pump families and summary of features
Pump families are defined on the basis of the most commonly used geometric configurations and the most frequent
operating conditions. They are numbered from 1 to 8, as listed and described in Table 2.
Pumps with characteristics different from those in Table 2 should be subject to agreement between the parties
concerned.

5.2 Calculation of maximum permissible forces and moments
The basic values are given in Tables 3 or 4 depending on the pump family. These values are given for normal
operation of the pump and are valid for conventional mounting.
The maximum permissible forces and moments are calculated by applying to the basic values the coefficients as
given in Table 2 for the pump family.
It should be noted that the maximum forces and moments derived from basic values in Table 3 are applied in a
different manner to those derived from Table 4. See 5.3 and 5.4.
In some cases, there are additional possibilities which allow an increase in the maximum values of forces and
moments to be offered. These are described in Annex B.

5.3 Maximum permissible forces and moments on standardised or modular pump

families
5.3.1 General
This applies to all pump families with basic values obtained from Table 3.
The values for forces and moments apply to all pump flanges all together and not to each flange separately.
Maximum permissible deformations are given in Table 1.
5.3.2 Composition of forces and moments
Whatever the direction of application of the forces and moments and their distribution on the pump flanges, the
maximum permissible values remain within the framework of the following formula:
2 2 2
 Σ F v   Σ F h   Σ M t 
     
 F v max  +  F h max  +  M t max  ≤ 1
     
Fv max, Fh max, Mt max being the values given by the tables;
∑Fv, ∑Fh, ∑Mt, being the algebric sums of the absolute values of the actual (or applied) loads to the
pump flanges.
These sums do not take account of the direction of the stresses or of the distribution
on each flange.
NOTE This formulation leaves the user completely free as regards the distribution of the various loads on the pump
flanges, in the knowledge that the maximum value for each of the loads cannot be achieved simultaneously.
5.3.3 Possibility of adapting the tables to other pumps of similar design
The maximum permissible values on flanges are tabulated in Annex B of EN ISO 5199:2002 for many pump families
according to their dimensions and conditions of installation.
If any pumps have no characteristics mentioned in these tables, the manufacturer/supplier is authorized to consider
them as similar in one of the families of his choice, either a particular agreement should be signed between the buyer
and the manufacturer/supplier for every particular case.
5.4 Other horizontal pump families

This applies to all pump families with basic values obtained from Table 4.
The values for maximum forces and moments apply to each flange taken separately.
5.5 Practical considerations for horizontal shaft pumps

A pump is not a static unit attached to pipework, but a precision machine, inside which a moving part turns at high
speed, and which has tight clearances and high precision sealing devices as mechanical fittings. It is, therefore
important, to stay below the maximum load limits given by this CEN Technical Report whenever possible.
This specification, agreed upon and jointly set up by manufacturers/suppliers and users in their mutual best interests,
points out the following recommendations:
a) the initial alignment of the pump/driver coupling should be made with a great care and should be periodically
checked according to the instructions of the pump or coupling manufacturer;
b) a coupling with a spacer piece having two articulated connecting points is always preferable, specially for a
large pumping unit and/or pump handling fluids at temperatures exceeding 250 °C;
14
PD CEN/TR 13931:2009
CEN/TR 13931:2009 (E)
c) the piping connections, during initial erection, should be made strictly in accordance with current regulations
and with the instructions provided by the pump manufacturer/supplier or designer of the piping system. A
check is recommended every time partial or complete dismantling of the installation is undertaken;
d) in certain cases, according to the type of pump involved and the operating temperature during service, the
initial alignment of the coupling may be made at a temperature higher than ambient.
The manufacturer/supplier and the user should strictly define the conditions for alignment and assembly of the coupling
should the procedure in d) be adopted.
6 Vertical shaft pumps
6.1 Definition of pump families and summary of features

Pump families are defined on the basis of their configurations (installation types - position(s) of flange(s).
They are numbered from 20 to 36, as listed and described in Table 5.
Sub-divisions A and B correspond to:
 A grey cast iron construction;
 B steel construction.
6.1.1 Installation types
The arrangement of a vertical shaft pump may be based on a number of constraints, concerning design and/or
application, the main ones being grouped as follows:
 restricted floor space;
 low or very low NPSHA (net positive suction head available) at ground level (see 6.2);
 ground water pumping (borehole, well, pit, tank, etc.);
 special problems.
There is, therefore, a very wide variety of, and range of uses for, vertical shaft pumps and it would be impractical to
cover all sizes and variations. The types and sizes covered in this report are restricted as follows:
 by keeping to the flange range DN 40 to DN 600, which excludes "domestic" pumps, on the one hand, and, on
the other, large pieces of equipment generally of unitary construction, frequently requiring specific discussion
between the contracting parties concerned;
 by considering only designs for which the flanges are located close to the plane of fixing or installation, the
maximum distance being defined below (see notes in Clause 3 of this document);
 by grouping all this equipment in accordance with three principles, enabling classification to be simplified,
namely:
a) suspended shaft pumps generally used for transporting water (families 20.A, 20.B and 21.A, 21.B);
b) suspended shaft pumps generally used for transporting liquids other than water for specific sectors of activity,
such as: petroleum, petrochemicals, chemicals, etc. (families 25.A, 25.B and 26.A, 26.B for submerged lift
pumps - families 28.A, 28.B and 29.A, 29.B for tank lift pumps);
c) other vertical shaft pumps, known as "in line" (families 35.A, 35.B and 36.A, 36.B).
NOTE All other cases, consequently excluded from this standard, should be defined by pump manufacturers, who may, if
they wish, or if there is felt to be a need, discuss the matter with their customers.

PD CEN/TR 13931:2009
CEN/TR 13931:2009 (E)
6.1.2 Position(s) of flange(s)
The flanges concerned may be either:

 outlet only (families 20, 21, 25 and 26)
this is the case when the inlet is located in a borehole, well, pit or tank;
 outlet and inlet (families 28, 29, 35 and 36)
this is typically the case when the pump is located inside a header tank or when the pump is of the "in line"
type (families 35 and 36).
The outlet and inlet flanges may be located:
 above the installation plane (Figure 2);
 below the installation plane (Figure 3).
Figures 2 and 3 in Clause 6.2 represent their arrangements and show the maximum distances A and B to be
observed.
NOTE Beyond the limit distances A and B, the manufacturer may, if he wishes, retain the indicated values for forces and
moments, or reduce them.

6.3 Maximum permissible forces and moments on pump flanges
6.3.1 General
The maximum permissible forces and moments are calculated by applying to the basic values the coefficients as
Maximum permissible deformations are given in Table 1.
6.3.2 Suspended shaft pumps generally used for transporting water ("for water")
6.3.2.1 Families 20.A and 20.B
For these pump types this report considers only the forces and moments on the outlet flange. Appropriate means
shall be provided to withstand loading on the submerged inlet and suspended part of the pump.
Where the pump is designed for a maximum operating pressure below 2 MPa (20 bar) (e.g. high specific speed,
axial flow), steel fabrication may be used and the values of maximum forces and moments reduced by the ratio of
maximum operating pressure / 2 MPa (20 bar) or 0,2 whichever is greater.
For fabricated sheet steel construction the values of forces and moments are calculated as for cast iron unless the
requirements of 6.2.b have been satisfied.
Coefficients in Table 5 for these families are given for monobloc construction of the outlet elbow and pump
mounting. Where a separate construction (two or more pieces) is used, calculated values should be divided by 2.

6.3.3 "In line" pumps
The pump, while being fixed by pipework, may:

 rest, if necessary, on a concrete or metal support (see 6.3.3.1), or
 be fixed by its seating (see 6.3.3.2).
NOTE Since the loads imposed by pipework are due to the presence of fixed points which prevent the pipework from being
deformed, it follows that the pipework will transmit lower loads to the flanges of the pump if the latter can move (family 35), than
if it is acting as a fixed point (family 36). So if the pump can move (family 35) it is logical to allow that, the permissible values for
the loads from the pipework to be higher than those permitted if the pump is acting as a fixed point (family 36).
6.3.3.1 Pump resting, if necessary, on a concrete or metal support - Families 35.A and 35.B
The pump can move under the action of loads.
NOTE In this special case, the flanges cannot be considered as fixed points in space. The purchaser should ensure that
the loads transmitted through the pump are not excessive.
6.3.3.2 Pump fixed by its seating - Families 36.A and 36.B
The pump cannot move under the action of loads.
6.4 Practical considerations for vertical shaft pumps

Vertical pumps, other than the monobloc "in-line" type, have the special feature of a long or fairly long lineshaft,
running in sleeve bearings spaced at regular intervals, often lubricated by the pumped liquid. As a result, smooth
operation of the rotating assembly depends upon good alignment. This can only be ensured if the external loads
applied to the pump flanges do not cause distortions greater than those allowed by the manufacturer/supplier.
In view of the design concept of vertical pumps and their sensitivity to misalignment, the present report limits the
forces and moments on their flanges to values lower than those allowed on horizontal pumps.
Furthermore, visual assessment of distortion at the level of the coupling is not as easy as in the case of horizontal
pumps, since the motor and its stool are often closely connected to the upper part of the pump. Such distortions
can in fact only be related to a fixed reference point in space. Verification being difficult, the user should follow
closely the recommendations given by the manufacturer/supplier.
Excessive constraints on the flanges, in addition to compromising good operation and/or reliability, usually give rise
to:
 a vibration level greater than normal;
 difficulty in turning the rotor by hand at rest (at the operating temperature), when the mass of the rotor allows
such hand-turning.

B.3 Horizontal and vertical pumps
B.3.1 Prestressing on the pipework

B.3.1.1 General
The use of prestressing should be exceptional. It is intended to reduce the maximum forces and moments so that
they are compatible with the limits set by this document. This process should only be used with the agreement of
the customer. This is the inversion of the direction of loads between those created by the prestressing and those
caused by expansion, which, through reciprocal compensation, achieves the result.
The permissible rate of prestressing should remain lower than the maximum stresses able to be withstood by the
pump flanges, in order to take account of the range of uncertainty which may be encountered:
 either because of additional stresses, which are difficult to monitor, resulting from the location tolerances at the
moment of attachment; or
 because of a more or less rigorous superimposition of two opposing loads during operation.
B.3.1.2 Values
The maximum permissible prestressing values should not exceed 0,65 of the values authorized by this document.
B.3.1.3 Conditions of use
The use of prestressing should be exceptional. It may only be authorised under the following conditions:
 the pump is permanently fixed before attachment of the pipework,
 attachment is in accordance with current tolerances and regulations,
 the designer of the pipework has a perfect knowledge of all the loads and their directions and should take
responsibility for their values,
 the designer of the pipework identifies, in accordance with his data and calculations, any adjustment device
needed to bring about the agreed prestressing, these devices being carefully listed and shown on the pipework
plans,
 the manufacturer of the pump should be permitted, in case of difficulties occurring during operation, to check
by any appropriate means the actual loads on the pump flanges at maximum operating temperature and at
ambient temperature.
B.3.2 Weighting or compensation formula
If the loads applied do not act simultaneously at their maximum values, it is permitted for one of the loads to exceed
its maximum permissible value, providing the following additional conditions are met:
 any component of a force or moment is restricted to a maximum of 1,4 times the maximum permissible value
provided that the resultant value (force or moment) remains unchanged or lesser;
 the actual forces and moments on each flange (inlet flange and outlet flange) is linked by the following
relations:
2 2
 ΣFactual   ΣMactual 
  +  ≤ 2
 ΣFmax permissible   ΣMmax permissible 
   
27
PD CEN/TR 13931:2009
CEN/TR 13931:2009 (E)
∑F and ∑M are the arithmetic sums of the absolute values of forces and moments on each flange, both for
the calculated values and for the maximum permissible values given in the document, according to the pump.
B.3.3 Limit of accumulation of possibilities

This accumulation enables advantage to be taken of several additional possibilities simultaneously, providing that
taken together they do not require values greater than 2,4 times the values corresponding to the pump family in
question during normal operation.
