PVXM ISO 13709/API 610 (OH3) Vertical In-Line Overhung API Process Pump
PVXM ISO 13709/API 610 (OH3) Vertical In-Line Overhung API Process Pump
| Brand: | Flowserve |
|---|---|
| Description: |
The PVXM is a vertical in-line, overhung process pump conforming to ISO 13709/API 610 OH3 standards, designed for applications requiring API reliability in a vertical configuration. With a space-saving, centerline-mounted design, the PVXM is ideal for installations where floor space is limited but robust mechanical performance is essential. Unlike OH5 designs, the PVXM features a separate bearing frame and rigid shaft support, providing improved stability, lower vibration, and enhanced seal life. This makes it especially well-suited for hydrocarbon processing, chemical manufacturing, and refinery utility services. Available in a range of metallurgy options, the PVXM supports high-temperature fluids, clean or slightly contaminated liquids, and API flush plans. It delivers high efficiency and ease of maintenance while meeting stringent API requirements for continuous-duty, mission-critical pumping systems. |
The Flowserve PVXM vertical process pump features a diffuser design and a rugged in-line bearing housing. Compliant with the latest ISO 13709/API 610 and BS 4082R standards, the PVXM is a space-saving alternative to horizontal overhung process pumps in upstream and downstream services.
