The Goulds Model 3196 is an ANSI standard dimension, back pull-out centrifugal process pump designed for exceptional reliability across a range of industrial applications. The pumps are widely used in chemicals, petrochemicals, oil and gas, water, metals and mining, paper and pulp, food and beverage, and general industry.
All impellers are investment-casted and offered in all sizes up through MTX. In addition, STX casings and select MTX casings are investment-casted, as are our STX and MTX power end parts, optionally available in cast steel in favor of ductile. All large-size casings are resin-casted with pickling (acid washing) to ensure a smooth surface finish.
To ensure quality, we randomly Poke-Oke: we meticulously check the holes by fitting their bolts to ensure the threads are clean and clear. We keep a complete inspection record, available on request. If we find any part where tolerance isn¡¯t spot on, we junk the part, pure and simple. All casings are of course pressure tested and all impellers are dynamic balanced.
