SECTION 15132A
SUBMERSIBLE PUMP, AXIAL-FLOW AND MIXED-FLOW TYPE
12/02
**************************************************************************
NOTE: This guide specification covers the
requirement for submersible axial-flow and
mixed-flow pumps. The pumps are of the
pre-engineered (catalog) type, used at flood control
and storm water projects. Over specifying can prove
costly and even double the cost of an otherwise
inexpensive pump. In general, the two most
important attributes to a successful specification
will be to obtain a qualified, experienced
manufacturer and to properly specify the pumping
conditions so that the correct pump is obtained.
Comments and suggestions on this guide specification
are welcome and should be directed to the technical
proponent of the specification. A listing of
technical proponents, including their organization
designation and telephone number, is on the Internet.
Recommended changes to a UFGS should be submitted as
a Criteria Change Request (CCR).
Use of electronic communication is encouraged.
Brackets are used in the text to indicate designer
choices or locations where text must be supplied by
the designer.
This guide specification is for use in construction
contracts. It may be used in supply contracts, but
should be changed as appropriate. Differences
between the technical paragraphs written for
contractor-supplied pumps versus Corps supply
specification should be minimal.
This pump specification shall be used with the
design criteria in EM 1110-2-3102, "General
Principles of Pumping Station Design and Layout",
and EM 1110-2-3105, "Mechanical and Electrical
