Goulds 3996 process pump line is specifically designed to provide superior performance for in-line services of the Chemical Process Industries.
Setting The Standards For Reliability
The 3996 is designed for optimum reliable service ...shaft size and overhang are optimized to provide maximum seal and bearing life...precision fits provide built-in alignment between pump and motor (field alignment not required). Hydraulic and mechanical loads are carried by the pump, not by special motors (the 3996 uses standard C-face motors).
Goulds Model 3996–Designed for Reliable In-line Service
In-Line Design For Cost Savings
In-line pumps have become increasingly popular with users due to minimal floor space required and reduced installation costs. Installation is simple since the unit is mounted direct in the line like a valve. Field alignment is not required and the unit is not subject to misalignment due to pipe strain or temperature changes.
The Preferred In-Line Design
A variety of pumps are available including close-coupled, rigid-coupled, and flexibly-coupled/intregal bearing designs.
