Goulds Model 3196 Pump

Proven Performance

Over One Million Process Pump Installations Worldwide

When the 3196 ANSI Standard Dimension Process Pump was first introduced in 1961, it immediately became the standard for the industry. Today, the number of installations attest to its remarkable performance. Users in chemical, petrochemical, pulp & paper, primary metals, food & beverage and general industries know they can make no better choice than the best —

Before Selecting A Process Pump

Consider the Four Design Features For Extended Pump Performance

In order to select a chemical process pump wisely, consideration must be given to design features that provide long-term reliable performance. The pump must be designed for optimum shaft seal and bearing life to prevent the failure of these two primary causes of pump downtime.

FULLY OPEN IMPELLER

Best design for the Chemical Process Industries services. Ideally suited for corrosives and abrasives, handles solids and stringy fibers with ease. Allows for simple restoration of clearances when wear takes place. Back pump-out vanes reduce pressure on the shaft seal, reduce axial thrust on the bearings.

ENGINEERED SEAL CHAMBERS

 Seal chambers allow seals to run cooler with better face lubrication. Keep solids, air and vapors away from the seal faces for extended seal life.

POWER ENDS

Patented design maximizes reliability and Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF). Severe-duty bearings increase bearing life 2-5 times, while onboard condition monitor gives visible indication of general pump health. Backed by a five-year standard warranty.

PUMP MOUNTING SYSTEM

Critical for reliability ... rigid baseplate prevents distortion, maintaining pump/motor alignment; corrosion resistant in severe environments.Designed for low vibration and to withstand pipe loads. Meets total range of plant requirements,easier installation and maintenance.
