PREFACE

DEP (Design and Engineering Practice) publications reflect the views, at the time of publication, of:
Shell Global Solutions International B.V. (Shell GSI)
and/or
Shell International Exploration and Production B.V. (SIEP)
and/or
other Shell Service Companies.
They are based on the experience acquired during their involvement with the design, construction, operation and
maintenance of processing units and facilities, and they are supplemented with the experience of Shell Operating Units.
Where appropriate they are based on, or reference is made to, international, regional, national and industry standards.
The objective is to set the recommended standard for good design and engineering practice applied by Shell companies
operating an oil refinery, gas handling installation, chemical plant, oil and gas production facility, or any other such
facility, and thereby to achieve maximum technical and economic benefit from standardization.
The information set forth in these publications is provided to Shell companies for their consideration and decision to
implement. This is of particular importance where DEPs may not cover every requirement or diversity of condition at
each locality. The system of DEPs is expected to be sufficiently flexible to allow individual Operating Units to adapt the
information set forth in DEPs to their own environment and requirements.
When Contractors or Manufacturers/Suppliers use DEPs they shall be solely responsible for the quality of work and the
attainment of the required design and engineering standards. In particular, for those requirements not specifically
covered, the Principal will expect them to follow those design and engineering practices which will achieve the same
level of integrity as reflected in the DEPs. If in doubt, the Contractor or Manufacturer/Supplier shall, without detracting
from his own responsibility, consult the Principal or its technical advisor.
The right to use DEPs is granted by Shell GSI, in most cases under Service Agreements primarily with Shell companies
and other companies receiving technical advice and services from Shell GSI or another Shell Service Company.
Consequently, three categories of users of DEPs can be distinguished:
1) Operating Units having a Service Agreement with Shell GSI or other Shell Service Company. The use of DEPs
by these Operating Units is subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of the relevant Service
Agreement.
2) Other parties who are authorized to use DEPs subject to appropriate contractual arrangements (whether as part
of a Service Agreement or otherwise).
3) Contractors/subcontractors and Manufacturers/Suppliers under a contract with users referred to under 1) or 2)
which requires that tenders for projects, materials supplied or - generally - work performed on behalf of the said
users comply with the relevant standards.
Subject to any particular terms and conditions as may be set forth in specific agreements with users, Shell GSI
disclaims any liability of whatsoever nature for any damage (including injury or death) suffered by any company or
person whomsoever as a result of or in connection with the use, application or implementation of any DEP, combination
of DEPs or any part thereof, even if it is wholly or partly caused by negligence on the part of Shell GSI or other Shell
Service Company. The benefit of this disclaimer shall inure in all respects to Shell GSI and/or any Shell Service
Company, or companies affiliated to these companies, that may issue DEPs or require the use of DEPs.
Without prejudice to any specific terms in respect of confidentiality under relevant contractual arrangements, DEPs shall
not, without the prior written consent of Shell GSI, be disclosed by users to any company or person whomsoever and
the DEPs shall be used exclusively for the purpose for which they have been provided to the user. They shall be
returned after use, including any copies which shall only be made by users with the express prior written consent of
Shell GSI. The copyright of DEPs vests in Shell GSI. Users shall arrange for DEPs to be held in safe custody and Shell
GSI may at any time require information satisfactory to them in order to ascertain how users implement this
requirement.
All administrative queries should be directed to the DEP Administrator in Shell GSI.

PART I INTRODUCTION

1.1 SCOPE
This new DEP specifies requirements and gives recommendations for sealless centrifugal
pumps in spared vital and essential services.
This DEP is based on API Std 685, First Edition, October 2000 (including Errata dated
October 2007). Part II of this DEP amends, supplements and deletes various clauses of
API 685.
Any clauses of API 685 not modified by this DEP shall remain valid as written.

1.2 DISTRIBUTION, APPLICABILITY AND REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS


Unless otherwise authorised by Shell GSI, the distribution of this DEP is confined to Shell
companies and, where necessary, to Contractors and Manufacturers/Suppliers nominated
by them.
This DEP is intended for use in oil refineries, gas plants, chemical plants and oil and gas
production facilities.
When DEPs are applied, a Management of Change (MOC) process should be
implemented; this is of particular importance when existing facilities are to be modified.
If national and/or local regulations exist in which some of the requirements may be more
stringent than in this DEP, the Contractor shall determine by careful scrutiny which of the
requirements are the more stringent and which combination of requirements will be
acceptable with regards to the safety, environmental, economic and legal aspects. In all
cases the Contractor shall inform the Principal of any deviation from the requirements of
this DEP which is considered to be necessary in order to comply with national and/or local
regulations. The Principal may then negotiate with the Authorities concerned, the objective
being to obtain agreement to follow this DEP as closely as possible.

1.3 DEFINITIONS
The Contractor is the party which carries out all or part of the design, engineering,
procurement, construction, commissioning or management of a project, or operation or
maintenance of a facility. The Principal may undertake all or part of the duties of the
Contractor.
The Manufacturer/Supplier/Vendor is the party which manufactures or supplies
equipment and services to perform the duties specified by the Contractor.
The Principal is the party which initiates the project and ultimately pays for its design and
construction. The Principal will generally specify the technical requirements. The Principal
may also include an agent or consultant authorised to act for, and on behalf of, the
Principal.
The Purchaser may be the Contractor or the Principal.
The word shall indicates a requirement.
The word should indicates a recommendation.

1.4 CROSS-REFERENCES

6. BASIC DESIGN
6.1 General
6.1.4 ADD TO THIS CLAUSE:
The Vendor shall verify that the motor is large enough to operate at this higher head.
6.1.9 ADD TO THIS CLAUSE:
Net Positive Suction Head Available (NPSHA) shall exceed the Net Positive Suction Head
Required (NPSHR) by at least 1.5 m (5 ft) throughout the range from minimum continuous
flow to 110 % of the rated capacity, and by 0.6 m (2 ft) at 120 % of rated flow. If the suction
pressure at the pump is less than atmospheric, this margin shall be at least 2 m (6.7 ft).
For liquids containing dissolved gases, to avoid cavitation damage due to vapor-induced
flow path restrictions, NPSHA shall be 1.5 x NPSHR, with a minimum margin of 5 m
(16.5 ft) between NPSHA and NPSHR.
6.1.10 REPLACE THIS CLAUSE BY:
Suction specific speeds shall be no greater than 12,800 unless approved by the Principal.
NOTES: 1. The above value shall be calculated in accordance with clause 3.76, however using the following
units:
- rotative speed expressed in revolutions per minute;
- flow rate expressed in cubic metres per hour;
- NPSHR expressed in metres.
2. The above value is 11,000 when calculated using the following US Customary units:
- rotative speed expressed in revolutions per minute;
- flow rate expressed in U.S. gallons per minute;
- NPSHR expressed in feet.

6.1.12 REPLACE THE FIRST SENTENCE OF THIS CLAUSE BY:


Pumps shall have stable head/capacity curves, which continuously rise by at least 5 % from
rated capacity to shut-off. The gradient of the tangent to the curve shall continuously
decrease from 125 % of the best efficiency point to minimum continuous stable flow and
shall remain positive.
6.1.14 REPLACE THIS CLAUSE BY:
Normal flow rate of the pump shall fall between 70 % and 100 % of the best efficiency
capacity of the furnished impeller.
6.1.15 Noise Control
REPLACE THIS CLAUSE BY:
6.1.15.1 Limits
The Contractor shall comply with DEP 31.10.00.31-Gen. and thereby communicate to the
Vendor the specified equipment noise limitations by using data sheet
DEP 31.10.00.94-Gen., which forms part of the requisition. The Vendor is responsible for
assuring that these equipment noise limitations have been specified.
6.1.15.2 Information to be submitted with the tender
The Vendor shall submit guaranteed sound power levels and sound pressure levels
(including octave band spectrum) of the equipment, together with any other relevant
information as requested in the data sheet, DEP 31.10.00.94-Gen. The Vendor shall
indicate what special silencing measures, if any, are proposed in order to meet the
specified levels.
6.1.19 REPLACE THE FIRST SENTENCE OF THIS CLAUSE BY:
DEP 31.29.02.31-Gen.
December 2009
Page 8

Cooling water plans shall not be supplied unless they are required by the seal flush plan, or
if the pumping temperature exceeds 200 °C (400 °F) and are recommended by the Vendor.
6.1.25 REPLACE THIS CLAUSE BY:
Major parts such as the casing components and bearing housings shall be designed with a
registered fit to ensure accurate alignment on reassembly. Pump designs that require
gauging for parallelism shall not be used.
6.1.27 REPLACE THIS CLAUSE BY:
The pump and its driver shall perform on their test stand and on their permanent foundation
within the acceptance criteria specified in 8.3.3.3.3. After installation, the performance of
the combined units shall be the joint responsibility of the Purchaser and the Vendor who
has unit responsibility.
6.2 Critical design and application considerations
6.2.1 ADD TO THIS CLAUSE:
The minimum continuous flow of the pump shall be based on the requirements in this DEP
for material thicknesses and material of construction of the containment shell if these
requirements cause power losses higher than those caused by the vendor's standard shell.
The Vendor shall confirm in the proposal the solids capabilities of the pump, including the
allowable concentration and micron size of suspended solids in the pumped fluid. Vendor
shall also confirm how the solids are prevented from entering the bearings and/or plugging
up other small clearances and passageways.
In abrasive services, the mean speed of the pumpage at the discharge flange shall not
exceed 5 m/s (16.4 ft/s).
ADD NEW CLAUSES:
6.2.4 The process cooling/lubrication system for internal bearings shall be designed to maintain a
minimum of 0.7 bar (10 psi) vapor pressure margin at all points in the flow path. This
margin shall be maintained at any capacity between minimum continuous flow and 110 %
of the best efficiency capacity of the furnished impeller with the fluid entering the pump at
maximum allowable suction temperature.
6.2.5 The pump rotor assembly shall be hydraulically balanced to minimize thrust load. Hydraulic
balancing should be effective throughout the entire range of operation from minimum
continuous flow to 110 % of the best efficiency capacity of the furnished impeller.
6.2.6 The rotor assembly thrust load shall be stable without thrust reversal throughout the entire
range of operation. The Vendor shall confirm in the proposal how this is accomplished.
6.2.7 The Vendor shall supply in the proposal a capacity vs. thrust load curve. As a minimum, the
capacity shall be from minimum continuous flow to 110 % of the best efficiency capacity of
the furnished impeller.
DEP 31.29.02.31-Gen.

6.3 Pressure casings


6.3.1 REPLACE THIS CLAUSE BY:
Tensile stress used in the design of the pressure casing for any material shall not exceed
0.25 times the minimum ultimate tensile strength or 0.67 times the minimum yield strength
for that material, whichever is lower, across the full range of specified operating
temperatures. For castings, the design tensile stress values shall be multiplied by the
appropriate casting factor, as shown in Table II-1. The Manufacturer shall state the source
of the material properties from those listed in Appendix H, Table H-2 (i.e. ASTM, UNS, ISO,
EN, JIS), as well as the casting factors applied, in his proposal. Use of national material
standards other than those listed in Appendix H, Table H-2 require approval of the
Principal.
Table II-1 Casting factors
Type of NDE Casting Factor
Visual, magnetic particle and/or liquid penetrant 0.8
Spot radiography 0.9
Ultrasonics 0.9
Full radiography 1.0

NOTES: 1. In general, the criteria in 6.3.7 result in deflection (strain) governing the design of pump casings.
Ultimate tensile strength or yield strength is seldom the governing factor.
2. For bolting, the allowable tensile stress is used to determine the total bolting area based on
hydrostatic load or gasket preload. It is recognized that to provide the initial load required to obtain
a reliable bolted joint, the bolting will be tightened to produce a tensile stress higher than the
design tensile stress. Values in the range of 0.7 times yield are common.

6.3.4 REPLACE THIS CLAUSE BY:


Pump Casings shall be radially split.
6.3.5 REPLACE THIS CLAUSE BY:
The pressure casing shall be designed to:
a) operate without leakage or internal contact between rotating and stationary
components while subject simultaneously to the MAWP (and corresponding
temperature) and the worst case combination of twice the allowable nozzle loads of
Table 1A (1B) applied through each nozzle;
b) withstand the hydrostatic test (see 8.3.2)
NOTE: The twice nozzle load requirement is a pressure casing design criteria. Allowable nozzle loads for
piping designers are the values given in Table 1A (1B). Other factors such as casing supports or
baseplate stiffness affect allowable nozzle loads.

6.3.8 REPLACE THIS CLAUSE BY:


Centerline supported pump casings shall be used for all horizontal pump.
6.4 Nozzle and pressure casing connections
6.4.3 Pressure Casing Connections
6.4.3.1 REPLACE THIS CLAUSE BY:
All auxiliary connections to the pressure casing shall be fitted with flanged stubs. Integral
flanges may be used.
Full-penetration butt welded connections, not socket-welded connections, shall be used if
any of the following conditions apply:
DEP 31.29.02.31-Gen.
December 2009
Page 10

• pump nozzles are Class 900 or above;


• pumping temperature is 0 °C (32 °F) or below;
• pump is for hazardous service;
• ISO 15156 or NACE MR0103 is applicable.
6.4.3.2 ADD TO THIS CLAUSE:
All connection welding shall be completed before the casing is hydrostatically tested
(see 8.3.2).
6.4.3.3 ADD TO THIS CLAUSE:
Valves shall not be welded to the pump.
6.4.3.8 REPLACE THIS CLAUSE BY:
Threaded connections to the secondary casing shall not be used.
ADD NEW CLAUSES:
6.4.3.9 Openings shall not be furnished unless they are essential, in which case they shall be
located away from high-velocity areas. Provision and location of openings shall be identified
in the Vendor’s proposal and shall be subject to the approval of the Principal. All openings
furnished and not connected to piping shall be closed with a blind flange in accordance with
6.4.3.1.
6.4.3.10 If the pump casing drain is other than an integral flange the drain shall have a short stub to
the first flange, no longer than 15 cm (6 in) and without any bends where practical.
6.5 External nozzle forces and moments
6.5.1 REPLACE THE FIRST SENTENCE OF THIS CLAUSE BY:
Steel and alloy steel horizontal pumps, and their baseplates, shall be designed for
satisfactory performance when subjected to the forces and moments in Table 1A (1B).
6.5.5 REPLACE THIS CLAUSE BY:
Appendix F gives methods of qualifying nozzle loads in excess of those in Table 1A (1B).
These methods may be used if approved by the Principal and the Principal should then
direct the piping designer accordingly. The Principal should be aware that the use of
Appendix F methods can result in up to 50 % greater misalignment than with the loads of
Table 1A (1B).
6.6 Rotors
6.6.1 REPLACE ‘single-piece castings.’ BY ‘single piece castings, forgings or fabrications.’
6.6.2 ADD TO THIS CLAUSE:
Collets shall not be used in vertical pumps.
ADD NEW CLAUSES:
6.6.6 Pumps with impellers 330 mm (13 in) or larger in diameter and rotative speeds of
3000 r/min or more, require the approval of the Principal. If alternative shaft diameters are
available, the larger shaft shall be supplied.
6.6.6 If the rotor design incorporates wear sleeves between the shaft and radial bearing, the wear
sleeves shall be made from alpha-sintered silicon carbide. Vendor shall compensate for the
differential thermal expansion of the shaft and wear sleeve, and state how this is
accomplished in the proposal.
6.6.7 Wear sleeves shall have anti-rotation devices, and shall be easily removable and
replaceable in the field.
6.6.8 Shaft and impellers shall not be plated for repair purposes. Repairs to rotating elements
shall be subject to review and approval by the Principal.

6.7 Wear ring and running clearances


6.7.2 REPLACE THIS CLAUSE BY:
Radial running clearances shall be used to limit internal leakage and, where necessary,
balance axial thrust. Impeller pumping vanes or close axial clearances shall not be used to
balance axial thrust. Renewable wear rings shall be provided in the pump casing. Impellers
may have integral wear surfaces or renewable wear rings.
The Brinell hardness of wear rings shall be at least 250 HBW.
6.7.3 ADD TO THIS CLAUSE:
Wear rings shall not be of a U-shape design.
ADD NEW CLAUSE:
6.7.4.3 For non-metallic wear ring materials with very low or no galling tendencies (see Table II-2)
clearances less than those given in Table 2 may be proposed by the Vendor. Factors such
as distortion and thermal gradients shall be considered to ensure that clearances are
sufficient to assure dependability of operation and freedom from seizure under all specified
operating conditions.

stamping.
For items manufactured from austenitic stainless steel or nickel alloys the marking shall be
applied by stencil using a water-insoluble ink which contains no injurious substances such
as metallic pigments, sulfur, sulfides or chlorides which could attack or harmfully affect the
material.
Stamping/marking shall include:
- material manufacturer's symbol identical to the symbol on the material certificate;
- material identification;
- heat, charge or batch number to relate to the material certificate;
- heat treatment symbol or code, where applicable;
- non-destructive testing symbol or code, where applicable;
- size and schedule, where applicable;
- hydrostatic test pressure, where applicable.
NOTE: If the size of the item does not permit complete marking, the above identification marks may be
substituted by a unique code which is fully traceable to the material certificate for the item.

All materials for components exposed to hydrogen sulfide in concentrations exceeding
100 mg/kg (100 ppm) or exceeding the limits prescribed by ISO 15156 or NACE MR0103
(as applicable) shall conform to the reduced hardness requirements of ISO 15156 or
NACE MR0103 (as applicable) as well as the requirements of Appendix 1. Renewable wear
rings which, for proper pump performance, must be hardened above the limits of
ISO 15156 or NACE MR0103 (as applicable) are acceptable. If approved by the Purchaser,
instead of furnishing renewable wear rings, wear surfaces may be hardened by the
application of a suitable coating.
All external bolting on the casing and seal glands shall also conform to the above
requirements even if ISO 15156 or NACE MR0103 (as applicable) restricts the requirement
to enclosed bolting.

and construction of the pump pressure containing components and joints will be leak free
from ambient conditions to the maximum operation conditions defined on the data sheet.
8.3.2.2 REPLACE THIS CLAUSE BY:
All pressure-casing components shall be hydrostatically tested as assemblies. Test shall be
conducted with liquid at a minimum of 1.5 times the maximum allowable working pressure
(MAWP).
8.3.2.3 REPLACE THIS CLAUSE BY:

d) Materials are known to have poor castability.
8.3.2.8 Chloride content of liquids used to test austenitic stainless steel materials shall not exceed
50 mg/kg (50 ppm). To prevent deposition of chlorides as a result of evaporative drying, all
residual liquid shall be removed from tested parts at the conclusion of the test.
NOTE: Chloride content is limited in order to prevent stress-corrosion cracking.

8.3.2.9 Austenitic or duplex stainless steel pressure-casing components may be hydrostatically


tested with an additional amount of material on areas where machining to critical
dimensions and tolerances is required. Additional amount of material shall not exceed
1 mm (0.040 in) material stock or 5 % of minimum allowable wall thickness whichever is
less. Any areas that are machined after hydrostatic testing shall be identified on the
hydrotest report.
NOTE: Because of the residual stresses resulting from final liquid quenching and relatively low proportional
limits inherent in these materials, small amounts of permanent deformation can occur at critical
dimensions during hydrostatic testing. By allowing a small amount of material to remain at these
critical areas during hydrostatic testing, no material needs to be aded by welding to restore
close-toleranced dimensions after hydrotest.

8.3.2.10 Tests shall be maintained for a sufficient period of time to permit complete examination of
parts under pressure. Hydrostatic test shall be considered satisfactory if neither leaks nor
seepage through the pressure-containing parts and joints are observed for at least 30 min.
Large, heavy pressure-containing parts may require a longer testing period to be agreed
upon by the Purchaser and the Vendor. Piping systems fabricated by welding shall be
hydrotested in accordance with ISO 15649.

maximum operating gauge pressure or 10 bar (150 psi), whichever is greater.
8.3.2.14 Piping systems fabricated by welding shall be hydrostatically tested in accordance with
ISO 15649. For piping, the stress shall conform to ISO 15649.
