DEZINCIFICATION OF SILICON BRONZE IMPELLERS Subject: Dezincification of Silicon Bronze Impellers - (Peerless Material Code 449) Information Bulletin SMI-203 was issued on May 24, 1996 regarding the use of silicon bronze in certain applications. Excerpts from this bulletin follow: This bulletin becomes part of and is to be retained in your Sales Manual until further notice. Silicon brass can experience Dezincification in certain types of applications. Dezincification is the process of selective removal of zinc from copper-zinc alloys leaving a porous mass of copper with very little mechanical strength. With impellers the first sign of Dezincification will normally be loss of performance. The following application conditions will result in Dezincification of silicon brass impellers: 1. Water with high oxygen, carbon dioxide, and/or chlorine content. 2. Slightly acidic water, at room temperature, which is low in salt content. 3. Alkaline water above room temperature which is high in salt content. INB SM1-203R When any of these application conditions exist, impellers in silicon bronze, material code 010, 011 and 449 should not be used. Substitution of cast iron (040), Aluminum-bronze (023) (for Vertical pumps) or Nickel-aluminum bronze (577) (for end suction and split case pumps) will eliminate any possibility of Dezincification. Peerless has been working with a number of end-users for several years addressing Dezincification applications. During 2001 Peerless and one of our major impeller suppliers were involved with several test set-ups hoping that we could define a specific chlorine concentration level (parts per million, ppm) at which we would recommend making an alloy change. Running and impingement tests were/are conducted with chlorine concentrations of 1,2,3,5 and 7 ppm comparing several alloys in each concentration. There was no definitive chlorine concentration level at which we could clearly recommend changing our standard impeller alloy. The following bar graph shows a comparison of product loss for several tested alloys in a chlorine concentration of 2 ppm. This was a typical comparison for all of the chlorine concentrations noted above, but more product loss was evident with higher concentrations of chlorine. Our major supplier, through stricter quality control, has minimized the percentage of zinc in the impellers we are furnished (from 16% to 12%) and still meet the C87500 specification. This is noted as Peerless material code 449A (C875A) in the bar graph. by Percent Loss Weight 4.00 3.00 2.00 1.00 0.00 1.00 22 MONTHS Chlorine level = 2 ppm 1.91 2.95 1.92 0.56 C836 C875A C875S C876S C903 ALLOY 011 449A 449 399

When Reliability Matters - Trust Peerless Vertical Lineshaft Turbine Pumps Peerless Pump Open Line Shaft Flanged Column The Peerless Pump OLS vertical turbine pump provides a wide range of hydraulic and mechanical coverage. Peerless Pump offers many different material and design configurations; these numerous configuration options allow for custom-engineered construction tailored to suit your requirements. Maximum value, high efficiency and economical long-term pump performance are assured in each application. Applications Peerless Pump OLS vertical turbine pumps handle water and other nonabrasive fluids. Corrosion-resistant materials are available for many industrial uses. Applications vary from small, single pump commercial applications to large, multi-pump municipal water supply systems. OLS pumps are appropriate for both raw water transfer and finished water projects. They are also widely used in mining and agriculture, as well as for fire protection systems. Other uses include high temperature and high pressure applications, such as condensate systems. Features Peerless Pump s standard cast iron discharge head can handle pressures up to 400 psi. Discharge heads are standardized to accommodate the maximum number of NEMA motor sizes, and a variety of options such as fabricated steel construction or underground discharge are available. Enclosed-type bronze impellers are standard construction, other materials are available. Peerless Pump s impellers cover a wide range of flow and head conditions. Each impeller is balanced for smooth operation. Peerless Pump standard OLS bowls are cast with integral vanes to guide the flow to the next stage with minimum losses and maximum efficiency. All bowls are porcelainlined for protection and efficiency. Only Peerless Pump protects the shaft and extends the life of the pumps by utilizing dual bowl bearings. Both bronze and rubber seal protect the shaft and impellers against wear. Peerless Pump pioneered and patented the double seal feature in bowls. The two sealing surfaces prevent efficiency-robbing recirculation within the bowl. Minimal radial clearances between the impeller skirt and the bowl create a dynamic sealing surface. The static sealing surface is the lateral ring, installed into the bowl below the impeller skirt. Lateral rings protect bowl surfaces, provide protection for the impellers and enable prolonged pumping efficiency. Flanged column material is rugged carbon steel. Flanged column is easier to install and uninstall than threaded, and offers extra support for larger-diameter columns. Quality Engineering Peerless Pump designs tough, versatile products to meet your pumping needs. Peerless vertical turbine pumps deliver variety, durability, standardized options and configurations unequalled in the industry.
