Goulds 3996 2x3-6 Inline Process Pump 316SS with Baldor-Reliance 15 HP Motor

The Goulds 3996 2x3-6 is a robust inline centrifugal process pump designed for demanding industrial applications, constructed from durable 316 stainless steel for excellent corrosion resistance in chemical, petrochemical, and water treatment processes. This model features a compact vertical inline design that saves space and simplifies installation compared to traditional base-mounted pumps, allowing for easy piping alignment and reduced footprint. Key benefits include high efficiency at high speeds (up to 3600 RPM), reliable performance under varying flow conditions, and a semi-open impeller for handling solids-laden fluids. It offers advantages over similar products like reduced maintenance downtime due to its back pull-out design and compatibility with standard NEMA motors. Drawbacks may include higher initial cost for stainless steel construction and the need for precise alignment to prevent vibration. This unit is paired with a Baldor-Reliance Super-E Severe Duty XEX 15 HP motor, providing explosion-proof capabilities for hazardous environments. Ideal for transferring corrosive liquids, it ensures long-term reliability with pressure ratings up to 275 PSI and temperature handling up to 250°F. Based on image analysis, the pump appears used but in good condition, with visible internals suggesting recent maintenance or inspection.
