NF E 27 811
Provide sufficient space in the foundation to accommodate the anchor bolts. If necessary, provide concrete risers.
Usually the pump and its drive are mounted on a common base plate. If not, individual base plates underneath each machine foot shall be installed. Base plates are to be fully grouted.
4.2.1 Setting the base plate for anchoring
a)Clean the foundation surface thoroughly.
b)Put shims on the foundation surface (approx 20- 25 mm thick), one on each side of the bolt hole (as an alternative, leveling screws can be used).
4.2 Foundation
There are many methods of installing pump units to their foundations. The correct method depends on the size of the pump unit, its location and noise vibration limitations.
The base plate should be mounted onto a firm foundation, either an appropriate thickness of quality concrete or sturdy steel framework. It should NOT be distorted or pulled down onto the surface of the foundation, but should be supported to maintain the original alignment.
Anchor bolts must be in accordance with the foot bolt holes. Use anchor bolts of accepted standards and sufficient to ensure seave fitting in the foundation. Particularly, this applies to individual plates where the anchor bolts have to withstand the driving torque.
c)Lay the base plate and level in both directions with extra shims. The base plate should be level to within 0.5 mm per 1 m.
d)If anchor bolts have been
