ITT Goulds Pumps

Goulds Pumps traces its history to 1848 in Seneca Falls, USA, and is best known among process engineers for its ANSI chemical process pumps. Nameplates read either Goulds Pumps or ITT Goulds Pumps. Seven Star LLC lists the Goulds 3196 i-FRAME and supplies ITT Goulds centrifugal pumps and spare parts to chemical and process plants in Oman.

Goulds 3196 i-FRAME ANSI process pump

The Goulds 3196 i-FRAME is a horizontal overhung, open impeller centrifugal pump that complies with ANSI B73.1. Because ANSI pumps follow standard envelope dimensions, a 3196 can be matched to an existing baseplate and piping by its size designation. The pump is built with several power ends (STi, MTi, LTi, XLT-i and i-17) and a long list of hydraulic sizes and wetted materials, which is why the nameplate data matters for any inquiry.

Ordering Goulds pump parts: what we need

For spare parts the manufacturer asks for four things: model, size, serial number and the item numbers of the parts. All of them except the item numbers are on the nameplates, and the item numbers come from the sectional drawing in the manual. A size reads like 3×4-10. For a new pump, send the liquid, flow, head, temperature, suction conditions and preferred material. GCC buyers can send the pump data sheet if one exists.
