K Concrete Welded Base Concrete bases are recommended under pumps as they are more rigid and a better choice in maintaining alignment. They need not be selected for the additional mass that is needed under highly unbalanced machines such as slow speed horizontal or vertical compressors. If the building can handle the added weight, floating…

WF Steel Beam Base A complete steel base is not required for equipment such as Absorption Machines, Reciprocating Compressors, Shell Mounted Centrifugal Compressors, H&V units, etc. Steel members improve stability, lower operating heights and in the case of H&V units prevent distortion of sheet metal legs or base angles. The use of saddles and brackets…

WF Steel Beam Base Our very early specifications merely called for “sufficient base rigidity” to handle belt tension and keep the drive in alignment. There had been no criteria for base stiffness or design and every vendor had his own version of what might be minimally acceptable as there never was a unified code. Pump…
