​GET INTRODUCED TO THE ARMSTRONG SERIES 4030 PUMP

Armstrong 4030 Base Mounted End Suction Centrifugal Pump

Armstrong, the manufacturers of quality pumps since 1934 brings you yet another pump with great features! It keeps the traditional features intact in the pumps:

• The casing is base supported and is split in a radial fashion. Such a design helps in removing the bearing assembly and impeller without the disturbing the pipe connections.
• The smart design featuring back pull-out.
• The coupling is flexible and guarded.
• There is one –piece baseplate. It is heavy and rigid enough to support the different parts of the pump and motor and helps in aligning them properly.
• There are drain and gauge connections.
• There is a cast-iron housing and also a bronze-fitted construction.
• It is available in two types of constructions- all iron and ductile iron.

As mentioned earlier, the pump combines these traditional features along with contemporary trends. So here are the modern features found in the pump:

• It is equipped with OSHA coupling guard in each of the pumping units.
• The shaft steel is well-designed using steel.
• There is a centerline discharge casing in ANSI style. It also has self-venting provisions to nullify chances of a vapor lock.
• It supports an extensive flow range.
• It is protected by an ANSI flanged casing.
• The casing gasket is a confined one.
• The ball bearings are anti-frictional and inherently lubricated and sealed. They can carry loads easily with the least maintenance.
• It is mechanically sealed and provided with silicon carbide seat.
• Its impellers are dynamically balanced.

The pump is thus a unique blend of the old and the new.

You may look up the website to find a pressure-temperature chart of the fluid passing through the pump.

And in case you are interested in a few more specs of it, have a look:

• It meets the ANSI 1.3.5 standards.
• The housing permits a maximum hydrostatic pressure of 150%.
• It is an end-suction type pump.
• It has an Armstrong suction guide with a strainer.
• It has a silicon carbide seat.
• It is designed for the maximum temperature and pressure.

Here are a few advantages of using the Armstrong 4030 series base mounted pump:

• It is durable enough, owning to the stable metallic construction.

Two main parameters that buyers look for while choosing their pumps include reduction in space and provisions of saving expenses. There are a few outstanding qualities in this pump that reduce space and money and hence deserve mention:

• Base-mount: It has an Armstrong FTV-S Flo-Trex Combination Valve.

It is designed in such a way that it saves space and expenses of the suction equipments such as Y-Strainer, Long Radius Elbow and Min. Strain pipe Run and also the discharge parts such as check valve, isolating valves and throttling valves.

• Vertical In-liner: The vertical in-liner saves space and costs with the help of its FTV-A Flo-Trex Combination Valve and Armstrong suction guide with strainer.
• It helps in eliminating costs and space of the base-mounted pump apart from the inertia base with spring mounts, long radius elbow, flexible pipe connectors, grouting, field alignment, dplit couplings available for ease of mechanical seal replacement.
• Dual Arm,: The dual-ARM vertical in-liner uses two different pumps within a single casing along with a single inlet and outlet connections.
• It supports standby or parallel set of connection with only one set of pipes. The casing design and port valves help in removing one pump from operation while the other one still functions. Along with a suction guide and Flo-Trex valve the Dual ARM contributes to a great life-span.

The Armstrong 4030 pump is thus a great buy for its specs, price and functionality.
