3196 i-FRAME® ANSI Process Pump with i-ALERT® Patented Intelligent Monitoring

Proven Performance Over One Million Process Pump Installations Worldwide When the Goulds 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 — Goulds Model 3196.

Before Selecting A Process Pump Consider the Four Design Features For Extended Pump Performance FULLY OPEN IMPELLER 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. 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...

Fully Open Impeller Acknowledged Best Design for CPI Services The open impeller is the acknowledged best design for process services. It is ideally suited for corrosive/erosive liquids containing solids and stringy materials. The most reliable pumps feature open impellers as standard. See The Difference Remarkably, Goulds had performance in mind when the Model 3196 standard dimension process pump was developed in 1959. Of timely significance was the decision to feature a fully open impeller rather than an enclosed type. There are three excellent reasons why: • Greater wear area for longer...

Goulds Engineered Seal Chambers Extend Seal Life And Lower Maintenance Costs Seal Environment is Critical for Extended Seal Life The number one cause of pump downtime is failure of the shaft seal. These failures are normally the result of an unfavorable seal environment such as improper heat dissipation (cooling), poor lubrication of the seal faces, or seals operating in liquids containing solids, air or vapors. Goulds engineered seal chambers are designed to provide the best seal environment for any sealing arrangement. Engineered Seal Chamber Selection Guide Enlarged bore seal chambers...

Goulds 3196 i-FRAME® Goulds Dynamic Seal TM Benefits of Dynamic Seal: Goulds TaperBore • Eliminate use of seal water • Eliminate pumpage contamination and product dilution The unique flow path created by the Vane Particle Ejector directs solids away from the mechanical seal, not towards the seal as with other tapered bore designs. And, the amount of solids entering the bore is minimized. Air and vapors are also efficiently removed. On services with or without solids, air or vapors, Goulds Pumps TaperBore® PLUS is the effective solution for extended seal and pump life and lower maintenance...

4 Shaft and Bearings Engineered for Maximum Reliability Every 3196 i-Frame Power End is engineered and manufactured for optimal pump performance and increased MTBF. The rugged shaft and bearing combination maintains shaft deflection of less than 0.002 inches at all operating points. The result is longer seal and bearing life. Premium severe-duty thrust bearings increase bearing fatigue life. Max. radial runout of the inner ring, µm 15 • High purity steels have fewer inclusions than standard steel − better grain structure and wear resistance.
