Flowserve HPX pump, API 610 OH2, ISO 13709 hydrocarbon processing pump for refinery and petrochemical service

Flowserve HPX ISO 13709, API 610 OH2 Hydrocarbon Processing Pump

Brand: Flowserve
Type: OH2, single stage, overhung centrifugal process pump
Standards: ISO 13709, API 610 (OH2), ISO 21049, API 682
Description:

The Flowserve HPX is an API 610 OH2, ISO 13709 compliant single stage overhung process pump designed for hydrocarbon processing duties in refineries and petrochemical plants. It is engineered to deliver stable performance, reduced vibration and long service life in demanding process conditions, while supporting emissions containment through an ISO 21049, API 682 seal chamber.

If you are specifying an OH2 pump for critical service, the HPX offers broad hydraulic coverage for accurate selection and efficient operation. Share your duty point, fluid details, temperature and pressure and we can help you match the right HPX configuration, materials and seal arrangement.


Engineered and built for reliable, safe performance, the HPX also provides optimal emissions containment. The wide hydraulic coverage range helps support precise selection for strong operating efficiency.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Centerline supported casing, helps manage nozzle loads and reduce shaft misalignment for extended rotor, bearing and seal life
  • Suction nozzle guide vane, promotes uniform flow and helps maintain a strong NPSH margin
  • Dynamically balanced precision cast impeller, minimizes vibration and supports smooth performance over a wide flow range
  • Back pull out design, simplifies maintenance without disturbing piping or motor
  • Renewable wear rings, reduces replacement part cost for casing and impeller wear components
  • ISO 21049, API 682 seal chamber, supports multiple seal configurations for demanding hydrocarbon service

Why engineers specify HPX for hydrocarbon pump service

  • Designed for refinery and petrochemical duties where reliability, stability and containment matter
  • Strong mechanical design to support longer service intervals and predictable maintenance
  • Selection flexibility across a wide hydraulic range for accurate duty point matching

HPX OH2 Processing Pump Applications

The Flowserve HPX OH2 pump is commonly specified for critical services in:

  • Refining, distillation, hydrotreating, hydrocracking
  • Petrochemical and chemical processing
  • Hydrocarbon transfer and high temperature process duties, subject to materials and configuration selection
  • General industrial process services requiring an API 610 OH2 overhung pump

Operating Parameters

  • Heads to 350 m (1100 ft)
  • Pressures to 80 bar (1160 psi)
  • Temperatures from minus 160 C (minus 250 F) to 450 C (840 F)


Actual performance depends on size selection, hydraulics, materials and configuration. For proper selection, share your duty point, suction conditions, temperature and fluid properties.

Design Highlights

  1. Centerline supported casing helps withstand nozzle loads and supports shaft alignment for extended component life
  2. Suction nozzle guide vane reduces inlet vortexing and helps improve flow uniformity into the impeller
  3. Dynamically balanced precision cast impeller supports smooth operation across a wide operating range
  4. Raised face flanges per ASME B16.5 Class 300 or 600, ISO and JIS options may be available depending on configuration
  5. Renewable wear rings for casing and impeller help reduce lifecycle cost
  6. ISO 21049, API 682 seal chamber accommodates a wide variety of seal configurations
