GOST 32600-2013 PDF

Full title and description

GOST 32600-2013 — Насосы. Уплотнительные системы вала для центробежных и роторных насосов. Общие технические требования и методы контроля. The standard sets out technical requirements and control/testing methods for shaft sealing systems used on centrifugal and rotary pumps, primarily for hazardous, flammable or toxic services in industries such as petroleum, natural gas and chemical processing.

Abstract

GOST 32600-2013 provides classification, design, material, testing and inspection requirements for pump shaft sealing systems (mechanical seals and auxiliary sealing arrangements) covering typical shaft diameters from about 20 mm to 110 mm. It aims to increase reliability, reduce emissions and provide guidance for selection, qualification and documentation of sealing systems. The document is based on ISO 21049:2004 (Pumps — Shaft sealing systems for centrifugal and rotary pumps).

Scope

The standard applies to shaft sealing systems for centrifugal and rotary pumps used in petroleum, natural gas and chemical industries, with primary focus on hazardous, flammable and/or toxic services where high reliability and reduced emissions are required. It normally covers shaft diameters from 20 mm (0.75 in) up to 110 mm (4.3 in) and may be used for selection, upgrade and qualification of sealing systems and spare parts. It includes classification of seal configurations (categories, types, arrangements and orientations) and requirements for testing and data sheets.

Key topics and requirements

• Classification system for sealing solutions: categories, types, configurations and orientations (to guide selection for different service conditions).
• Design and dimensional requirements for sealing components (seal faces, sleeves/bushings, glands, chambers).
• Materials and elastomer recommendations for various fluids and temperatures (including guidance on FFKM, graphite, stainless steels etc.).
• Performance and qualification testing: dynamic/static endurance tests, leakage limits, run-time targets and test fluids.
• Auxiliary systems and barrier/flush arrangements (liquid and gas barrier media, reservoir and circulation requirements, cooling and venting).
• Installation, maintenance and inspection guidance; requirements for data sheets and documentation to ensure correct specification and traceability.

Typical use and users

Typical users include pump and mechanical-seal manufacturers, rotating-equipment engineers, reliability/maintenance teams, process and design engineers in oil & gas, petrochemical and chemical plants, procurement/specification teams and testing laboratories responsible for seal qualification. The standard is used for new equipment design, upgrades, purchasing specifications and acceptance testing.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: GOST 32600-2013 is a national (interstate) standard that specifies general technical requirements and control/testing methods for shaft sealing systems used on centrifugal and rotary pumps, primarily in hazardous/industrial services.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers classification of sealing systems (categories/types/configurations), design and material recommendations, performance and qualification tests, auxiliary barrier/flush arrangements, installation and documentation (data sheet) requirements, and guidance for selection and upgrade of seals for shafts typically 20–110 mm in diameter.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Pump and seal manufacturers, rotating-equipment and process engineers, maintenance and reliability teams, testing laboratories and procurement/specification personnel in oil & gas, petrochemical and chemical industries.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: GOST 32600-2013 is listed as active (in force); it is based on ISO 21049:2004 (which remains the international reference for the same subject). Users should check national/regulatory bulletins for any amendments or later national replacements before relying on the text for compliance.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It is a standalone standard addressing shaft sealing systems but is commonly used alongside broader pump standards and industry-specific documents (for example, pump safety, testing and API standards like API 682) when specifying rotating equipment.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Pump seals, mechanical seals, shaft sealing systems, centrifugal pump, rotary pump, leakage control, qualification testing, barrier systems, petrochemical applications.
