WARNING !A PRESSURE RELIEF VALVES AI NOTICE I A Our technical publications relative to reciprocating pumps state that pressure relief valves must be installed in the discharge systems from these units. This supplement is issued to emphasize the importance of relieving the discharge system of all pressure which exceeds the rated working pressure applied by the manufacturer to the specific pistons and liners (or plungers and packing) in any particular unit. •Print4 Some I Index I Next I EFTA00795783 A! WARNING ! A For the protection of persons and property the discharge system from each Reciprocating Pump must be equipped with a device which relieves the system of all pressures which exceed the pressure rating applied by the manufacturer to each particular piston or plunger diameter. Allowances will be made for pressure surges which are inherent with the reciprocating action of piston and plunger pumps. The percentage of pressure allowance appears later in this publication and in the "Standards of the Hydraulic Institute" (131h edition). The relieving device must provide for instantaneous pressure relief, it may be a valve designed for automatic or manual resetting; however, if preferred, rupture discs or burst discs may be installed. FAILURE to comply with the procedures outlined in the Warning may result in damage to the pump and related equipment and more importantly may cause serious bodily injury or death! THE PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE: 1. This valve must be a full opening type. 2. It must have a working pressure rating, equal to or greater than, the maximum working pressure of the pump. 3. The through capacity of the valve, when fully opened, must be sufficient to relieve the full capacity of the pump without excessive overpressure. RUPTURE DISC OR BURST DISC: 1. These discs must have a diameter which is not less than the pipe size of the pressure relief flange. 2. These discs must have a rupture or burst pressure rating consistent with the specifications tabulated later in this publication. LOCATION OF THE RELIEF VALVE: 1. The relief valve must be placed in the discharge line as close as possible to the pump fluid end or it may be mounted on the pump discharge manifold. 2. The relief valve must be on the pump side of any discharge strainer. SUGGESTED SET PRESSURES PUMP TYPE: Double Acting - Duplex Double Acting - Triplex Double Acting - Quintuplex Single Acting — Triplex Single Acting — Simplex Single Acting — Duplex Single Acting — Triplex Single Acting — Quintuplex Single Acting — Septuplex Note: The above set pressures are to be observed when installing rupture discs or burst discs. 3. The relief valve must be between the pump fluid end and any valve in the discharge system. 4. There must be no restricting device(s) between the relief valve and the pump fluid end. THE RELIEF VALVE DISCHARGE LINE: 1. The relief valve discharge line should not terminate in the pump suction line. 2. The line should terminate in the supply tank, if possible. 3. The line must be securely anchored. 4. The line must be the same pipe size as, or may be larger than, the discharge connection on the relief valve. 5. If the line is of great length, this must be taken into consideration in sizing the relief valve. 6. There must be no restrictions or valves in the relief valve discharge line. NOTE: Follow the foregoing instructions if rupture discs or burst discs are installed.

GENERAL e NATIONAL OILWELL VARCO Careful planning of the plant layout will save considerable time and expense, both initially when the installation is made and later during the operation of the plant. In selecting the location for the pump, consideration should be given to the fact that a positive suction head at the pump inlet contributes toward the pump efficiency. However, the layouts of the piping, the arrangement of the fittings, and restrictions in the suction and discharge lines have even more effect. For this reason, all fittings and valves should be full opening; all bends should be of long radius or should be eliminated where possible. Long radius 45° ells should be used, particularly if installed near the fluid cylinder. The following points outline the basic requirements for an installation that will contribute greatly toward good pump operation. A. SUCTION LINE 1. The suction line must not be smaller than the suction intake of the fluid cylinder and may be larger. The length of the suction line should be held to a minimum and should run straight from the supply tank to the pump. 2. When bends are required, they should be made with long radius 45° ells. Do not use a bend directly adjacent to the fluid cylinder. Avoid using any 90° bends if at all possible. 3. Provide a full opening gate valve in the suction line adjacent to the supply tank to permit the line to be drained when necessary. Do not use any type of restricting valve. 4. Do not use meters or other restrictions in the suction line. Eliminate any rise or summit in the suction line where air or vapor can collect. 5. Pulsation dampening devices are strongly recommended. 6. When necessary to manifold a number of pumps to a common suction, the diameter of the manifold and suction pipe leading from the supply tank must be such that it has a cross-sectional area equal to, or greater, than the area of the combined individual suction pipes. 7. When a charging or booster pump is used in the suction line, it must have a capacity equal to twice that of the pump output. This is necessary to provide a charging pump with an output great enough to meet the peak volume requirements of the plunger pump during the suction stroke and not act as a restriction in the line. 8. All piping, both suction and discharge must be solidly and independently supported. The first support must be as close to the pump as practical. This is necessary to prevent placing the pump in a strain and to keep any vibration in the system from acting directly on the pump. B. DISCHARGE LINE 1. Use a pulsation dampener or a desurger in the discharge line. It should be placed in the line as near the fluid cylinder as possible and ahead of any bend in the line. 2. Do not reduce the size of the discharge line below that of the pump outlet until the line has passed through the desurger, and is away from the pump approximately 20 feet (6m). 3. Any bend in the discharge line should be made with a long radius 45° ell. Do not use a bend directly adjacent to the fluid cylinder, particularly a 90° bend. Print Home I 8 Index I Next I de NATIONAL OILWELL VARCO EFTA00795791 S NATIONAL OILWELL VARCO Installation... I. GENERAL B. DISCHARGE LINE (Continued)... Installation, Care and Operation Manual 4. A pressure relief valve should be installed in the discharge line. The relief valve should be set to operate at a pressure no greater than 25% above the maximum rated pressure for the plunger size being used. It should be installed in the line ahead of any valve and be piped so that any flow is returned to the supply tank rather than the suction line. This will prevent possible damage to the suction line and suction dampener. 5. A by-pass line should be installed to permit the pump to be started without load. This allows oil to circulate and reach all parts in the power end before they are loaded. C. POWER END 1. The pump must be mounted level and should be grouted in and be free of strain. This applies to a skid-mounted pump or a pump mounted directly on a concrete base. 2. The sheave of a belt driven pump must be correctly aligned with the prime mover sheave. Care must be used to prevent over-tightening as this will shorten belt life, place the pump in a strain, and cause undue additional loads on the crankshaft and bearings. Sheave sizes should not be smaller than the minimum approved diameter. 3. When connecting a direct-driven pump, the shafts must be correctly aligned. Couplings should not be expected to compensate for avoidable misalignment. With Thomas Flexible Couplings, angular misalignment should not exceed one-half degree. Offset misalignment of the centerlines of the two shafts should not exceed .015" (.381 mm). Actually, misalignment should be as small as practical. 4. Provision should be made to stop the pump automatically in the event of supply fluid failure. A pump should not be run dry, as this causes wear on the packing. 5. Adequate plunger chamber drains have been provided in the pump and should not be plugged. Drain lines should never be reduced in size from the connection provided. 6. The pump has been drained of oil after testing at the factory and MUST be filled with the proper oil (see page 12) before starting. The rust inhibiting oil coating inside the power end need not be removed before filling; however, it is recommended that the power end be checked to make sure dirt or contamination has not entered during shipment. D. FLUID END 1. The fluid cylinder is shipped assembled to the pump complete with valves and cover plates. The stuffing boxes, plungers, and related items have also been assembled and tested with the pump (unless otherwise specified) and require no further assembly. Before the pump is started, these parts should be checked for tightness as well as for possible damage during shipment. 2. Thoroughly clean the suction line piping before starting the pump. Weld spatter, slag, mill scale, etc., will damage a pump in a short time. Print Home I 9 Index I Next I NATIONAL OILWELL VARCO EFTA00795792 Installation, Care and Operation Manual Installation... I. GENERAL (Continued)... E. PLUNGER PACKING e NATIONAL OILWELL VARCO The recommended style of packing has been installed and run at the plant. It does, however, require further "setting up" as the pump is started and brought up to pressure. Refer to pages 36 through 41 for correct procedure for packing used. F. PLUNGER PACKING LUBRICATION 1. Automatic packing lubricators are beneficial on all installations and are required on pumps operating at high pressure (1200 psi [85kg/cm 2] and up) to obtain good packing life. 2. When an automatic lubricator is used in water and power oil service, use Rock Drill (Air Drill) oil of proper viscosity. For butane-propane service, use NATURAL castor oil. Set lubricator to feed 5 to 7 drops per minute. G. SUCTION PULSATION DAMPENERS 1. Low Pressure - Plastic Body a. Some National Oilwell Varco plunger pumps are equipped with suction pulsation dampeners. These dampeners do an excellent job when properly charged and should be kept filled during operation. A! ATTENTION ! A At suction pressures over 10 psi (.7kg/cm2), the dampener should be deflated prior to bleeding off the suction pressure to prevent damage to the diaphragm. b. The plastic dampener body has an instruction decal attached, which lists the following installation and charging procedures. A! ATTENTION ! A HANDLE WITH CARE. This is a plastic part and can be broken. c. Tighten capscrews with 10 to 12ft-lbs. of torque. A! ATTENTION ! A Use thread-sealing compound on check valve and tighten until snug. OVERTIGHTENING WILL DAMAGE BODY. d. With pump operating - Charge dampener until bottom of diaphragm is visible through sight glass. Proper charge is when bottom of diaphragm is between center and top of sight glass. Print Home 10 Index I Next I e NATIONAL OILWELL VARCO EFTA00795793 S NATIONAL OILWELL VARCO Installation... I. GENERAL G. SUCTION PULSATION DAMPENERS (Continued)... 2. High Pressure - Aluminum Body Installation, Care and Operation Manual a. In pressures in excess of 20 psi (1.406 kg/cm?) and up to 70 psi (10.545 kg/cm2), it is necessary to use the National Oilwell Varco high-pressure suction dampener. b. The high-pressure dampener is charged in a similar manner to the low-pressure plastic dampener, using air or nitrogen to charge the diaphragm and maintain its position in relation to the sight glass. c. The following procedures should be used to service this dampener: (1) The dampener is fitted to an adapter that may be either welded into an existing line or be a part of a separate dampener housing. Place a gasket on each side of the diaphragm retaining plate and place on the adapter. (2) The dampener spacer is then placed on top of the retainer plate with the grooved side up and the flat side against the retainer gasket. (3) The diaphragm fits into the groove on the spacer with the curved portion of the diaphragm above the spacer. (4) Apply a continuous 1/8" diameter bead of silicone rubber on the outer edge of the diaphragm after it has been positioned into the spacer. This silicone rubber (GE Silicone Rubber or Dow-Corning Silastic) is readily available at most hardware stores. Assemble the body cover within ten minutes after applying the silicone rubber. (5) Fit the dampener cover over the diaphragm and assemble the capscrews. Tighten these capscrews evenly to approximate 80 ft-lbs. of torque. (6) Install the sight glasses, one in each side of the cover. Be sure to seat the sight glass packing carefully into the groove on the cover, as this must be an airtight connection. (7) The air check valve has a pipe thread and must be made up into the cover airtight. Use a good pipe thread sealant to promote sealing.

GENERAL • NATIONAL OILWELL VARCO NATIONAL OILWELL VARCO models 591-3 and 103O-3 reciprocating pumps are "splash" lubricated. The main bearings and crankshaft bearings are fed by splash. Crossheads and crosshead pin bushings are fed through holes in the crossheads and crosshead reservoir. Intermediate rods are lubricated from the splash they receive from the crosshead. NATIONAL OILWELL VARCO model 110Q-3 reciprocating pump is pressure lubricated via a small gear pump direct driven by the crankshaft. The gear pump provides oil to the crankshaft, connecting rod bearings and crosshead pin bushings. The main bearings and crossheads are splash lubricated from the main oil reservoir and crosshead oil reservoir. A. OIL Use "extreme pressure" gear oil. The chart below shows the recommended grades for various temperatures surrounding the pump.

ATTENTION !A THE FOLLOWING POINTS SHOULD BE CHECKED FOR THE PREVENTION OF TROUBLE OR TO CORRECT TROUBLE THAT MAY ARISE. A. OPERATION CHECKLIST 1. Pump must be a set level for proper lubrication. 2. Make sure pump is filled with clean oil of the proper viscosity (see page 12). 3. Do not over-speed the pump. 4. Do not use a smaller diameter sheave than is recommended for the pump. 5. Make sure all safety shutdown switches are operating properly. 6. Keep all suction and discharge line valves fully open. 7. If a bypass is used to regulate output, make sure it is set properly. 8. Make sure the pressure relief valve is set properly. 9. Do not exceed the pressure rating of the pump for the particular plunger size. 10. Make sure the suction line is tight, as air entering the suction line will cause severe hammering and knocking of the pump. 11. Make sure plunger and intermediate rod connections are tight and locked. 12. Check the plunger packing for correct adjustment (see pages 36 to 41). 13. Check the suction and discharge dampeners for proper charge, as this is very important for long life and good pump operation. 14. Make sure the hex nuts holding the cylinder in place are tight.

GENERAL The following points are intended as a guide to be used in setting up a maintenance program. Good preventive maintenance will pay big dividends in the form of reliable service with a minimum of trouble. A. DAILY MAINTENANCE 1. Check power end oil level daily. Do not attempt to check the oil with the pump running. Inspect the oil for dirt or contamination and change if necessary. An increase in oil level indicates fluid end leakage into power end. Change oil immediately and check intermediate rod wipers and surface smoothness of rod. Check for plunger packing leakage. 2. Lubricate plunger packing frequently. Packing life can be greatly increased by greasing every four (4) hours with a small amount of grease. Grease is not recommended at pressures above 1200 psi. Use an alternate packing lubricator to drip the proper oil on the plunger for lubrication. (See page 10 for further details). 3. Check lubricator for proper level and operation. 4. Check plunger packing for excessive leakage. Replace packing as required. 5. Check stuffing box adjusting nuts for tightness. 6. Drain plunger leakage sump tanks if required. 7. Flush plunger chamber drain lines with kerosene on power oil pumps and fresh water on salt pumps. This may be done weekly unless salt and paraffin accumulation is severe. 8. Make sure suction and discharge line valves are fully open. 9. Check for leakage between the fluid cylinder and frame or stuffing box to fluid cylinder packing if required. 10. Check all seals for leakage. 11. Check belts or clutch for slippage. If either condition exists, correct immediately. B. MONTHLY MAINTENANCE 1. Drain and refill crankcase every six (6) months or as often as required to maintain a clean, sludge-free oil of the proper viscosity. 2. Clean crankcase air breather with a non-explosive solvent. 3. Check all studs, nuts and capscrews for tightness. Inspect gaskets for leaks; tighten or replace as required. 4. Clean pump. Good housekeeping is a prerequisite to good maintenance.

STORAGE If the pump is to be idle for longer than one (1) week, it should be prepared for storage as follows: 1. Drain and clean crankcase thoroughly. Leave drain open and install 90° elbow, pointing downward, to permit air circulation and prevent condensation build-up. 2. Coat all bearings, finished surfaces. and entire inside surface of crankcase with a rust inhibiting oil. 3. Remove plungers and packing, clean and coat with rust inhibiting oil. 4. Remove fluid cylinder valves allowing cylinder to be thoroughly cleaned and drained. 5. Coat entire cylinder, valves and parts, with a rust inhibiting oil. 6. Thoroughly inspect pump and rotate crankcase once each month. Re-coat with rust inhibiting oil where necessary. D. START-UP AFTER STORAGE Any pump that has been in storage, either after field use or as shipped from the plant, will need a thorough inspection to make sure it has not been damaged in any way and that all parts are properly in place. A! ATTENTION !A FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING POINTS CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS DAMAGE. 1. Remove all covers on both power end and fluid end; thoroughly clean and inspect all parts and finished surfaces. 2. Check all bearings to make sure they are clean and in good condition. 3. Make sure valves, plungers and packing are properly installed and in good condition. 4. Carefully tighten all bolts, nuts, studs and working connections. 5. Fill power end to the proper level with clean oil of the proper viscosity. Make sure oil is poured into the crosshead reservoir and is worked into all bearings. 6. Fill packing lubricator and pump lines full. Check by breaking connection at stuffing box, working lubricator plunger until oil appears.

GENERAL Installation, Care and Operation Manual The bearings and other working parts in the power end have been designed for continuous duty, and if properly lubricated, will provide years of trouble-free service. However, after the pump has been in service for a long period of time, the bearings and other working parts will gradually loosen, and if not corrected, will lead to more serious trouble. The time to overhaul the pump will vary; depending on the operating conditions, and is therefore a matter that must be left to the good judgment of the operator. Complete disassembly and assembly procedures are discussed in their respective sections. A. TOOLS REQUIRED Most of the tools required to overhaul the pump will be found in an ordinary set of mechanics hand tools. The special tools and equipment required and not furnished with the pump include a torque wrench, bearing puller, and a valve servicing kit. Also, a hot oil bath capable of reaching a temperature of 300°F (149°C) will be needed. B. CHECK POINTS AND ADJUSTMENTS 1. 59T-3: The crankshaft main bearings are single row; shim adjusted, tapered roller bearings. They have been assembled and adjusted at the factory with proper clearance and will give long trouble-free service. The proper clearance is found by adjusting the amount of shims until the crankshaft has .003" to .005" endplay and will rotate freely. 2. 103O-3 and 110O-3: The 103O-3 and 110Q-3 have two single rows, shim adjusted, tapered roller end bearings. They have been assembled and adjusted at the factory with proper clearance and will give long trouble-free service. The proper end clearance is found by adjusting the amount of shims until the crankshaft has .004" to .006" endplay and will rotate freely. They also have two steel backed Babbitt center mains which are non adjustable. The center mains should have .008" to .014" (.203 mm to .356 mm) total diametrical clearance. This is non adjustable. 3. 59T-3. 103Q-3 and 110Q-3: a. The connecting rod shell bearings or inserts are precision made and adjustable by use of shims. Tolerances are listed on the following page. b. The normal clearance between the crosshead and crosshead bore is .00C (.102 mm) to .010" (.254 mm). The maximum allowable clearance, including wear, is .016" (.406 mm). c. The wrist pin bushings must be pressed into the connecting rods and reamed to size. The allowable clearance between the pin and bushing is listed on the following page.

It is driven by a slotted shaft which is driven via the crankshaft. It has its own strainer/filter, oil pressure gauge, and relief valve. The pump draws oil through the strainer/filter located in the crankcase reservoir and discharges into the crankshaft, where it lubricates all connecting rod and wrist pin bearings. See Figure 2. rtANKSHAFT BEARING HOUSING 1 OIL PRESSUR: [ RELIEF VALVE OIL PRESSUR _ GUAGE n SHIM GASKET(' f OIL PUMP r DRIVE PIN PRESSURE _ ADJUSTING SCREW OIL PUMP OIL PUMP BUSHING SUCTION SPRING -V±t 'PRr; RELIEF VALVE Figure 2 CAI c WASHER — NUT The lube oil pump may be removed by removing the six capscrews retaining the bearing housing. After removing the capscrews, the complete unit may be slipped out. It is not necessary to disturb either the crankshaft or bearing housing. The relief valve, located on top of the housing, is adjustable and prevents excessive lube pressure during cold starts. It is adjusted at the factory for normal operating conditions. However, since operating conditions do vary, it may be necessary to adjust after installation. Crankshaft speed, type of oil and oil temperature directly affect the oil operating pressure. To adjust the oil pressure, operate pump until normal operating temperature is reached. Remove the cap and loosen the jam nut. Turn the adjusting screw in or out until the desired pressure is reached. Retighten the jam nut and replace the cap. Under normal speeds and temperatures the oil pressure should be adjusted somewhere between 30 and 40 psi. However, because of the variable factors affecting the oil pressure the pump has been designed to operate safely from 15 psi or more.

Installation, Care and Operation Manual Sometimes the drive side of the pump must be reversed. When swapping the drive from right hand to left hand or opposite. care must be taken to correctly swap the lube side bearing housing and oil pump. The power frame is machined to be driven from either the right or left side. In order to do this, the power frame is machined symmetrically. This means the port for the oil suction must be plugged on the drive side to prevent oil leakage. When swapping drives, this plug must also change sides. See Figure 3 for details of the plug and strainer/filter changes. TRAINER/FI. DRIVE SWAT- n :A Figure 3 When changing drive side, the lube side bearing housing, oil pump, oil strainer/filter and components from the lube side are swapped to the drive side. The pipe plug, port plug, and 0 -ring from the drive side are switched to the opposite side. If the port plug is not removed it will block the oil suction port and the pump will starve for oil when started. If the port plug is not installed on the opposite side oil will leak from under the bearing housing.

PLUNGER PACKING INSTALLATION 1. 838 Packing • NATIONAL OILWELL VARCO It is important that the following procedure be observed when replacing old packing to prevent rapid packing wear. Style 838 packing is assembled in units consisting of a pressure ring along with a top and bottom adapter. Each set will have two or three units. Pay attention to the arrangement of the old packing sets to ensure the new sets are installed correctly. Another check is the units are installed so the lantern ring is positioned under the lubrication port. If the lantern ring does not align with the lubrication port, the pump is not correctly packed. a. Remove cradle cover and rotate pump to bring the first plunger to the forward position. b. Back off gland nut one or two rounds. c. If the pump has intermediate rods a back-up wrench is required. The plunger and intermediate rod separate at the knurl area interface. Using the back-up wrench break the plunger loose and unscrew from the intermediate rod. Remove the plunger through the fluid cylinder opening. d. If the pump does not have an intermediate rod, use a pipe wrench on the knurled area of the plunger and break it loose from the crosshead. Unscrew and remove through the fluid cylinder opening. e. Remove the gland nut, old packing, and packing adapters. Note the order of the packing and adapters. Clean the stuffing box and inspect for any damage. f. Rotate the pump to bring the next plunger forward. g. Repeat steps "V through 1" until all the plungers and packing have been removed. h. Check the throat bushing, lantern ring, and follower for excessive wear. These items can often be reused, but if they are worn, replace them. Reusing worn trim will cause premature packing failure. i. Lightly lubricate the stuffing box bore and install the throat bushing. j. Lightly lubricate a packing unit and install each component separately insuring each component is fully seated at the bottom of the box before installing the next component. Repeat and install the second unit. (DO NOT GREASE) k. Install the lantern ring. Check to ensure the lubrication port is aligned with the lantern ring. If not, to few or to many units have been installed ahead of the lantern ring. I. Install the last unit of packing. m. Install the follower ring and start the gland nut. Adjust the gland nut hand tight only. n. Lightly oil the plunger and install it through the fluid cylinder. Do not use worn plungers on new packing, as this will shorten packing life. o.

BRAIDED PACKING e NATIONAL OILWELL VARCO It is important that the following procedure be observed when replacing old packing to prevent rapid packing wear. Braided packing sets consist of braided packing rings, spacer rings, and end rings. The composition and number of rings vary depending on the fluid compatibility and stuffing box depth. a. Remove cradle cover and rotate pump to bring the first plunger to the forward position. b. Back off gland nut one or two rounds. c. If the pump has intermediate rods a back-up wrench is required. The plunger and intermediate rod separate at the knurl area interface. Using the back-up wrench break the plunger loose and unscrew from the intermediate rod. Remove the plunger through the fluid cylinder opening. d. If the pump does not have an intermediate rod, use a pipe wrench on the knurled area of the plunger and break it loose from the crosshead. Unscrew and remove through the fluid cylinder opening. e. Remove the gland nut, old packing, and packing adapters. Note the order of the packing and adapters. Clean the stuffing box and inspect for any damage. f. Rotate the pump to bring the next plunger forward. g. Repeat steps "V through 1" until all the plungers and packing have been removed. h. Check the throat bushing and follower for excessive wear. These items can often be reused, but if they are worn, replace them. Reusing worn trim will cause premature packing failure. i. Ensure the stuffing box lube port is plugged or has not been drilled completely through. Braided packing does not use a lantern ring and the port must be plugged or the packing can extrude through the port. j. Lightly lubricate the stuffing box bore and install the throat bushing. k. Install the first end ring into the box. Ensure it is fully seated against the bottom of the box and not cocked. I. Install the first pressure ring into the box and ensure it is fully seated. m. Install the spacer and ensure it is fully seated. n. Repeat this procedure until all the packing is installed and fully seated. ENSURE THE SPLITS ON EACH PACKING RING ARE STAGGERED FROM THE PREVIOUS RING. DO NOT ALIGN THE SPLITS. o. Install the follower ring and loosely install the gland nut. p. Lightly oil the plunger and install it through the fluid cylinder. Do not use wom plungers on new packing, as this will shorten packing life.

Tighten gland nuts finger tight. Some braided packing is very sensitive to gland tightening. Do not over tighten. u. Start the pump and bring up to pressure. Watch the packing carefully for signs of excessive heat. If the packing starts to smoke back the gland off a little. Braided packing does normally drip a small amount. This is by design and helps keep the packing from over heating. v. Continue to slowly tighten the nut to reduce the leakage to an acceptable level. Remember this type of packing does leak a small amount and tightening the gland until all leakage has stopped will usually result in excessive heat and packing failure. This style packing is adjustable packing and will have to been inspected regularly to keep the nut tight and leakage to a minimum. If the pump is allowed to operate with too loose packing, the packing will prematurely fail and you run the risk of damaging the stuffing box.

OPERATIONAL MAINTENANCE A. SUCTION AND DISCHARGE As with any plunger pump, the necessity for having an adequate suction head and proper piping design of both suction and discharge cannot be over emphasized. ! ATTENTION ! NOISY VALVES, DUE TO IMPROPER FILLING, CAN LEAD TO SHORT LIFE AND RAPID MECHANICAL WEAR OF THE POWER END PARTS. B. VALVE COVERS A CAUTION A THE VALVE COVERS, AS USED WITH THE NATIONAL OILWELL VARCO PLUNGER PUMPS, MUST BE KEPT TIGHT AT ALL TIMES. DUE TO THE DISCHARGE PRESSURE APPLYING A CONSTANT LOAD TO THE COVERS. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO CHECK THEIR TIGHTNESS WITH THE PUMP RUNNING OR WITH PRESSURE IN THE CYLINDER. Bleed off the discharge pressure and check the tightness of the covers as outlined under the assembly procedure for the type of cover used. C. VALVE COVER SEALS Tapered Seat Valves: The cover seals should be replaced as required. D. VALVE SPRINGS The springs used with the NATIONAL OILWELL VARCO valves are made of inconel alloy or other stainless steel. ! ATTENTION ! THESE SPRINGS SHOULD BE CHANGED APPROXIMATELY ONCE A YEAR IN ORDER TO ASSURE PROPER VALVE ACTION AND ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY OF A SPRING BREAK. E. VALVE AND SEAT Tapered Seat Valves: There are four basic valve & seat assemblies available, depending on the type of service. They are the severe duty (abrasion resistant) tapered seat valves, the disc tapered seat valves, the spherical tapered seats and the spherical severe duty tapered seat valves.

Pull seat or bump seat loose and remove. See Figure 16. g. Repeat steps "C through "f" for the suction valve assembly. 3. VALVE PARTS INSPECTION a. RETAINER The retainer will not need to be replaced very often. It should be inspected for corrosion or to see if it has been warped or bent. If this is the case, replace the retainer because this can cause undue wear on the springs and improper valve action. b. SPRING (S) The springs are made from inconel or other stainless steel and will work in most corrosive environments. It should be inspected for wear and/or nicks. If such evidence is apparent, the spring should be replaced. c. VALVE BODY The valve body is a stainless steel spherical disc. Inspect the valve for excessive wear, cracks, or washing. If any of these conditions exist, replace the valve. d. INSERT The standard insert is polyurethane and is used when solids are present in the fluid. Inspect the insert for cracks or tears. If damaged replace. e. SEAT The seat is stainless steel and should be inspected for excessive wear and/or wash on the seating surface. Also check the lugs, which engage the retainer for any damage. Check the taper for any signs of wash. Replace if these conditions exist.

WAVE RING The wave rings protects the valve integrity and is a safety device to prevent the cage from coming loose in the rare event a spring breaks. Check the wave ring for cracks or damage. Replace if necessary. 4. VALVE INSTALLATION PROCEDURE a. Thoroughly clean the cylinder taper with a cleaner that will not leave an oily residue. Do not oil the taper area of the seat or fluid cylinder seating area. This will cause the seat to "jump out" b. Clean the taper on the suction seat using the same precautions as with the fluid cylinder bore. The two surfaces must be clean and dry before assembly. c. Inspect for corrosion or damaged areas. Repair or replace as required. d. Place seat in the suction bore making certain it is straight. e. With a bar and a driver tap seat in place with 2 or 3 strokes. NOTE!! Seat does not have to be completely seated. Pump start-up pressure will drive seat home. See Figure 17. f. Install valve, spring(s), and spring retainer. See Figure 18.

BOX SUCTION PUMPS (VACUUM FEED) • Fill reservoir with oil. • Loosen union nut on pump outlet. Installation, Care and Operation Manual • Remove the vent screw and fill the sight glass with oil. Prime by manually pumping flushing unit until air free oil is observed from the drip tube and oil level drops in the sight glass. • Replace vent screw and tighten union nut. • Maintain oil level in sight glass below the drip tube so drops can be observed. 2. FLOW RATE ADJUSTMENT • Loosen locknut on flushing unit. • Turn flushing unit counterclockwise to increase flow. • Turn flushing unit clockwise to decrease flow. • Tighten locknut when desired flow rate is achieved. 3. SIGHT GLASS In a vacuum type sight feed. it is not uncommon for oil level in the sight glass to drop during operation. Absence of a level indicates air is being taken in with the oil and some oils, due to viscosity conditions, will release air faster than others. When the quality of air becomes excessive. it can eventually air lock the pump. For this reason it is recommended that an oil level in the sight glass be maintained. When level drops. remove the vent screw and fill sight glass to top: replace vent screw and operate flushing unit manually. observing that an oil in the sight glass is free from air. If air is not expelled, it may be necessary to loosen union nut (on pump outlet) and expel air at this point. It is desirable to maintain level below the drip tube so drops can be seen during operation. Print Home I 59 4. OVERFILLING OF SIGHT GLASS In a vacuum type sight feed, it is not uncommon to see a reverse action whereas sight glass fills with oil and the drops cannot be observed. Overfilling is caused by oil absorbing air in the sight glass and normally does not affect the operation of the pump. Remove the vent screw from sight glass and allow level to drop below drip tube. Tighten vent screw and check to see that air free oil from drip tube can be observed in the sight glass. If overfilling continues, it may be caused by plunger wear and oil slippage is being drawn back to sight glass. If this is the problem, the feed setting in drops per stroke will then automatically be reduced by the amount of slippage. 5. RESERVOIR OIL LEVEL (LOSS OF PRIME) If reservoir runs low on oil (at a point below the suction inlet of the pump) it may be necessary to prime individual pumps after filling, using procedure listed above. 6. PUMP DISPLACEMENT Maximum output (per stroke): 1/4 Plunger = .018 Cubic Inches 3/8 Plunger = .038 Cubic Inches The cubic volume for a pint of oil is 28.9 cubic inches and average drop size is .002 cubic inches.
