OF SELF-PRIMING CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS

PUMP SELECTION
To assist with the selection of self-priming pumps, we
have created the following hypothetical example. We
believe the problem and its solution to be typical of a job
that might confront engineers and users.
We shall assume there is a requirement for a wastewater
collection system that will require a lift station to pump
the wastewater to a pretreatment collection system.
The following data were acquired by actual accurate

TOTAL DYNAMIC HEAD (TDH) 2 THE NET POSITIVE
SUCTION HEAD (NPSH) 3 SELECTING THE
CORRECT PUMP 4 SELECTING THE
CORRECT MOTOR
Calculating the correct motor size for a pump involves the use of a
complicated formula. To make this process easier, many manufacturers
add horsepower (or kilowatt) lines to their performance curves. Referring
to point on the curve, the closest non-overloading horsepower line
represents 5 brake horsepower (BHP) or 3.7kW.
A good rule of thumb to use when selecting motors is to apply a motor
which will provide sufficient power to cover the entire length of the
selected pump curve (a practice which results in a “non-overloading”
motor selection). Using our example, the selected operating speed of the
pump is 1150 RPM. The performance of a pump will follow along this
speed curve but will vary due to normal pump wear and changes in sump
level. The calculation below accounts for the sump level change between
the pump on and off levels.

SUPER T SERIES ®
Self-Priming, Solids-Handling
Trash Pumps
A HISTORY OF INNOVATION
Gorman-Rupp has been revolutionizing the pumping
industry since 1933. Many of the innovations
introduced by Gorman-Rupp over the years have
become industry standards.
More than ever, we continue to update our factories, processes, research
and development, and engineering to ensure that our pumps and systems
are among the most reliable and efficient in the world. One of our most
successful and innovative lines of pumps has been our self-priming models.

Revolutionary improvements were made in 1963 with the introduction of

our T Series® self-priming pumps. Since then, continuous improvements to
head, flow and efficiency have been made.

In 2000 we introduced our Super T Series® with many added maintenance

features to enhance serviceability.

Today, Gorman-Rupp self-priming pumps are the world’s leading choice

for waste handling applications in industries such as steel and paper
mills, mining operations, food processing plants, power plants, automotive
factories, tanneries and wineries. They are also the pump of choice in
many sewage-handling applications worldwide.

Gorman-Rupp’s commitment to our original philosophy of innovation,

continuous improvement, unparalleled quality and customer service
continues to set us apart from others.
Our Pumps deliver decades of
performance and value
Gorman-Rupp is committed to meeting your fluid-handling requirements long after
installation. The quality manufacturing and testing that go into every Super T Series®
pump guarantee long-lasting, trouble-free operation. And we provide a five year
warranty and fast parts service to back up our products and ensure your peace of mind.

Value
Super T Series® pumps boast some of the lowest lifecycle costs in the
industry. Because of the quality manufacturing and testing that goes
into every Gorman-Rupp product, you benefit from minimal service
interruptions and some of the lowest maintenance in the industry.
Gorman-Rupp delivers the best ROI by ensuring low operating costs
for decades.

Parts And Service

When you need a replacement part for your Super T Series, you’ll
have it fast. With tens of thousands of genuine Gorman-Rupp parts
and pumps at our disposal, we fill and ship 99% of parts orders within
24 hours. Should your Super T Series pump or ReliaSource® pump
package ever require service, our worldwide network of factory-trained
distributors is ready to quickly respond to your needs. With just one
number to call for parts and service, it’s easy and convenient to keep
your equipment performing as it should.

Peace Of Mind
At Gorman-Rupp, we don’t just say our pumps are reliable. Unlike
standard 90-day or one-year warranties, we guarantee every part and
working component of a Super T Series pump for a full five years. With
Gorman-Rupp, reliable performance is always guaranteed.

Sound-attenuated, engine-driven models

are environmentally engineered to operate
much quieter than industry standards.

Deal With Tough Solids

Applications Super T Series®
New challenges for solids-handling pumps are
presented with the rise of stringy solids such as
Self-Priming, Solids-Handling Trash Pumps
flushable, nonwoven wipes which are increasingly
present in sewage. This, along with other clog-
prone solids such as feathers in poultry processing
applications, can be dealt with effectively with the
Gorman-Rupp EradicatorTM Solids Management System.
The system is available for all Super T Series® pumps.

Design Features
The Eradicator system features an
aggressive self-cleaning wearplate
incorporating a number of notches and
grooves, as well as a patent-pending
lacerating tooth, that helps break
up stringy materials and pass them
through the pump without impacting
performance or interrupting service. A
special back cover includes a patented
lightweight inspection cover that can
easily be removed if it is necessary to inspect
the impeller. The innovative design greatly reduces
troublesome clogging and expensive downtime.
Superior Solids-Handling
System Benefits Designed for economical, trouble-free operation, the superior solids-handling capabilities of
Easier access to the impeller, the Super T Series® pumps make them ideally suited for a variety of applications including
increased uptime, improved solids-laden liquids and slurries. The large volute design allows automatic repriming in a

ECONOMICAL OPERATION
& Easy to service
Gorman-Rupp’s patented external
shimless adjustment design doubles
the life of the impeller and wearplate.
The external shimless coverplate allows for easy adjustment
of the clearance between the impeller and the wearplate. This
process eliminates the need to realign belts, couplings or other
drive components. In turn, the working height of the seal assembly
and impeller back clearance are not disturbed. The unique collar
and adjusting screw allow for incremental adjustments of the
wearplate clearance.
Once adjustments have been made, the collar locks in place,
maintaining the clearance setting even if the coverplate is removed.
This design feature doubles the life of the impeller and wearplate
while maintaining peak operating efficiency.

capability provides quick and easy access to the pump interior (not

& Easy to service
Gorman-Rupp’s patented external shimless
adjustment design doubles the life of the
impeller and wearplate.
The external shimless coverplate allows for easy adjustment of the clearance
between the impeller and the wearplate. This process eliminates the need to
realign belts, couplings or other drive components. In turn, the working height
of the seal assembly and impeller back clearance are not disturbed. The
unique collar and adjusting screw allow for incremental adjustments of the
wearplate clearance.

Once adjustments have been made, the collar locks in place, maintaining
the clearance setting even if the coverplate is removed. This design feature
doubles the life of the impeller and wearplate while maintaining peak
operating efficiency.

 Gorman-Rupp has been manufacturing self-priming pumps since
1933. Over the years, The Gorman-Rupp Company has set the
standard with our T Series® and Super T Series® lines of pumps.
Many have tried to copy the dependability that these lines provide.
Today, Gorman-Rupp T Series pumps are the world’s leading choice
for waste handling applications in industries such as steel and paper
mills, deep mines, food processing plants, appliance and automotive
factories, tanneries and wineries. They are also leaders in sewage
handling applications worldwide. That’s because Gorman-Rupp offers
customers the performance, efficiency and reliability they can count on,
day-in and day-out.
The T2 is the latest addition to the T Series family of our self-priming
solids-handling pumps. With the same quality features that the T Series
are known for, the T2 has additional innovative features that will enhance
maintenance, improve performance and increase pump longevity.

Small package but not small in performance…

With maximum heads to 115 ft. (35.1m) and flows to 210 GPM (13.2 l/s),
the T2 pump features a volute design that allows it to reprime automatically
in a completely open system, without the need for suction or discharge check
valves. In fact, it can reprime with the pump casing only partially filled with
liquid and a completely dry suction line.
The T2 is standard with a cast iron casing and a two-vane ductile iron open
impeller capable of passing 1.5" (38.1mm) spherical solids. 316 stainless steel
fitted and G-R hard iron versions are also available. For corrosive and
abrasive applications, the T2 can be supplied in an all CD4MCu version. TOTAL HEAD
