Roto-Jet® RO-FT API 610Pumps for the Petroleum, Petrochemical and Natural Gas IndustriesPump Type: BB6

Excellent Engineering Solutions

The Roto-Jet® pump has earned a global reputation for reliability and robustness by meeting the demanding requirements of API 610 standards. The operating characteristics of the Roto-Jet® pump are simple and similar to a conventional centrifugal pump. Energy is added to the fluid via the rotor, and the stationary pitot tube converts the fluid velocity energy into static pressure.

Benefits:• API 610 11th Edition compliant• Standard API 682 cartridge seals• No external lube system required• No wear rings or close running clearances• Low NPSH3 without the use of an inducer• Robust design is insensitive to process upsets• Pulsation free flow over the entire head-flow curve• Integral gearbox is isolated from process seal leakage• Reduced life cycle cost by optimizing hydraulic efficiency• Process seals exposed only to suction pressure for maximum seal life• Between bearings arrangement minimizes shaft deflection at the seals• Bearing L10 life exceeds API 610 requirements using rolling element bearings• Patented rotor eliminates radial and axial thrust as a function of flow rate and suction pressure• High heads achieved in a single stage at low operating speeds compared to other low-flow, high-head pumps

These unique attributes make the Roto-Jet® RO-FT pump an excellent choice for severe low-flow, high-head process applications to increase mean time between failure objectives.

Roto-Jet® RO-FT Pump

Roto-Jet® Pitot Tube Pump

The Roto-Jet® pitot tube pump has been specifically designed and manufactured to achieve a broad operating range without creating damaging hydraulic forces in the pump. The pitot tube is stationary in the 12 o’clock position to facilitate venting of the rotor during start-up.

The efficient conversion of velocity energy into static pressure is critical to maximizing any centrifugal pump’s efficiency. After years of research and development in conjunction with state-of-the art CFD tools, Weir Specialty Pumps has created a highly advanced pitot tube geometry designed to offer superior performance for low-flow, high-head pumping services.
