5. Reverse position of dial indicator and bracket and repeat step 4.
6. Remove dial indicator and bracket.
7. Scribe location of holddown bolts on mounting pads, then remove driver from pad.
8. Drill and tap holddown bolt holes.
NOTE
Since an accurate cold alignment is dependent upon both
pump and driver being at ambient temperature, circulating
oil (if applicable) must also be at ambient temperature.
3.4.8 COLD ALIGNMENT
The term "cold alignment" refers to the alignment of pump and driver when they are at ambient
temperature. Since thermal growth affects their alignment, cold alignment should be considered a
preliminary yet essential task that must be performed diligently before the pump is operated for the
first time. To bring the driver shaft in cold alignment with pump shaft, proceed as follows:
1. Verify that the requirements of the following paragraphs in this subsection have been
satisfied:
a. ALIGNMENT
PRECONDITIONS
b. INSTALLING
COUPLING
c. SETTING DRIVER SHAFT ENDSPACE
d. TAPPING DRIVER MOUNT PADS
2. Attach lifting equipment to driver and set it on its mount pads.
3. Check hubs for run out or possible bent shaft conditions and correct, if necessary, before
proceeding with alignment.
NOTE
When using a double-reverse dial indicator setup, each
bracket must be checked for bar sag. Do not assume that
similar brackets have identical sag.
4. Determine the distance from the bracket mounting point to the indicator reading point.
5. Securely attach the bracket to a length of rigid pipe, and install the indicator at the distance
determined in step 4 above. (see DETERMINING BAR SAG figure)
6. Hold the pipe with the indicator facing up and set at "0". Without touching bracket, rotate the
pipe 180 degrees so that the indicator is facing down. Read the indicator and record the
reading. This is the amount of bar sag.
7. Rotate the pipe again so that indicator is facing up. It must return to "0".
8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 to confirm reading.
