Seal-less rotodynamic pumps - Class II - Specification (ISO/DIS 15783:2025)
1.1 This International Standard specifies the requirements for seal-less rotodynamic pumps that are driven with
permanent magnet coupling (magnet drive pumps) or with canned motor, and which are mainly used in chemical
processes, water treatment and petrochemical industries. Their use can be dictated by space, noise, environment
or safety regulations.
Seal-less pumps are pumps where an inner rotor is completely contained in a pressure vessel holding the pumped
fluid. The pressure vessel or primary containment device is sealed by static seals such as gaskets or O-rings.
1.2 Pumps will normally conform to recognized standard specifications (e.g. ISO 5199, explosion protection,
electromagnetic compatibility), except where special requirements are specified herein.
1.3 This International Standard includes design features concerned with installation, maintenance and
operational safety of the pumps, and defines those items to be agreed upon between the purchaser and
manufacturer/supplier.
1.4 Where conformity to this International Standard has been requested and calls for a specific design feature,
alternative designs may be offered providing that they satisfy the intent of this International Standard and they are
described in detail. Pumps which do not conform with all requirements of this International Standard may also be
offered providing that the deviations are fully identified and described.
Whenever documents include contradictory requirements, they should be applied in the following sequence of
priority:
a) purchase order (or inquiry, if no order placed), see annexes D and E;
b) data sheet (see annex A) or technical sheet or specification;
c) this International Standard;
d) other standards.
Dichtungslose rotodynamische Pumpen - Klasse II - Spezifikation (ISO/DIS 15783:2025)
1.1 Diese Norm legt die Anforderungen für wellendichtungslose Kreiselpumpen, die mit Permanentmagnetkupplung (Magnetkupplungspumpen), oder mit Spaltrohrmotor angetrieben werden, fest, die vornehmlich in der chemischen Prozesstechnik, der Wasserbehandlung und der petrochemischen Industrie eingesetzt werden. Ihre Verwendung kann durch den Raumbedarf, das Geräusch, die Umgebungsbedingungen und die Sicherheitsvorschriften bestimmt sein.
Wellendichtungslose Pumpen sind Pumpen, bei denen ein innerer Rotor vollständig in einen Druckbehälter, der das Fördergut beinhaltet, eingetaucht ist. Der Druckbehälter oder die erste Schutzhülle wird durch statische Dichtungen wie z. B. Flachdichtungen oder O-Ringe abgedichtet.
1.2 Pumpen werden in der Regel mit einer anerkannten genormten Spezifikation (z. B. ISO 5199, Explosionsschutz, Elektromagnetische Verträglichkeit) übereinstimmen, es sei denn, besondere Bestimmungen sind in dieser Norm festgelegt.
1.3 Diese Norm beinhaltet Konstruktionsmerkmale im Zusammenhang mit der Installation, der Wartung sowie der Betriebssicherheit von Pumpen und legt die Merkmale fest, die zwischen Besteller und Hersteller/Lieferer zu vereinbaren sind.
1.4 Wenn die Übereinstimmung mit dieser Norm und eine bestimmte Ausführung gefordert ist, können alternative Ausführungen angeboten werden, wenn sie den Festlegungen dieser Norm genügen und die Alternativen im Einzelnen beschrieben werden. Es können auch Pumpen angeboten werden, die nicht mit allen Anforderungen dieser Norm übereinstimmen, vorausgesetzt, dass die Abweichungen vollständig ausgewiesen und beschrieben werden.
Falls sich aus den Unterlagen Widersprüche hinsichtlich der technischen Anforderungen ergeben, gelten die Unterlagen in nachstehender Reihenfolge:
a) Bestellung (oder Anfrage, falls kein Auftrag erteilt worden ist), siehe Anhang C und Anhang D;

dispositif d'étanchéité d'arbre entraînées par un accouplement magnétique à aimant permanent (pompes à
entraînement magnétique), ou par un moteur chemisé à rotor noyé, et qui sont principalement utilisées dans les
processus chimiques, le traitement de l'eau et les industries pétrochimiques. Leur utilisation peut être dictée par
l'espace, le bruit, l'environnement ou les réglementations en matière de sécurité.
Les pompes sans dispositif d'étanchéité d'arbre sont des pompes dont le rotor est complètement isolé dans une
enceinte sous pression contenant le liquide pompé. L'enceinte sous pression, ou dispositif de confinement
primaire, est étanchée statiquement par des joints plats ou toriques.
1.2 D'une manière générale, et sauf exigences particulières spécifiées dans la présente Norme internationale,
les pompes sont censées être conformes aux spécifications des normes reconnues (par exemple ISO 5199,
protection contre les explosions, compatibilité électromagnétique).
1.3 La présente Norme internationale comporte des particularités de conception qui ont trait à l'installation, à la
maintenance et à la sécurité opérationnelle des pompes et définit les éléments qui doivent faire l'objet d'un accord
entre l'acheteur et le fabricant/fournisseur.
1.4 Lorsque la conformité à la présente Norme internationale a été demandée et que celle-ci fait appel à une
caractéristique spécifique de conception, d'autres conceptions peuvent être proposées, à condition qu'elles
répondent à l'objectif de la présente Norme internationale et qu'elles soient décrites en détail. Des pompes qui ne
sont pas conformes à toutes les exigences de la présente Norme internationale peuvent également être
proposées, à condition que les écarts soient complètement identifiés et décrits.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
Magnetic drive pump
MDP
pump in which the shaft power of the drive is transferred to the impeller of the pump by means of a
permanent magnetic field, which passes through a containment barrier (shell) to an inner rotor having
permanent magnets or an induction device.

Canned motor pump
CMP
pump in which the stator of an electric motor is separated from the rotor by a sealed containment barrier
(liner).
Note 1 to entry: The rotor runs in the liquid being pumped or in another liquid.
Note 2 to entry: The shaft power is transmitted by means of an electromagnetic field.
3.3
Seal-less rotodynamic pump
pump design in which the impeller shaft also carries the rotor of either a canned induction motor
or a synchronous or an asynchronous magnetic drive.
Note 1 to entry: The design does not use a dynamic shaft seal as a primary containment device. Static seals are the
means used for containing the fluid.
3.3.1
Hydraulic end
that end of the pump which transfers mechanical energy into the liquid being pumped.
3.3.2

3.3.3
Lubrication and cooling flow
flow necessary in a magnetic drive in the area between the inner magnet and the containment shell, or in
a canned motor between the rotor and the sleeve, for dissipation of the heat due to inherent eddy current
losses in metallic containment shells and frictional heat generation from bearings, and for lubrication.
Note 1 to entry: Internal pump bearings are lubricated and cooled by the pumped fluid or an external, compatible
flushing fluid.
3.3.4
Close coupled
coupling arrangement in which the motor is supplied with a flange adapter which mounts directly
onto the casing or body of the pump and in which the outer magnet ring is mounted onto the motor shaft.

4.1 General
4.1.1 Characteristic curve
The characteristic curve shall indicate the permitted operating range of the pump. Pumps should have a
stable characteristic curve. In addition, the characteristic curves for the smallest and largest impeller
diameters shall also be shown.
Minimum and maximum continuous stable flows at which the pump can operate without exceeding the
noise, vibration and temperature limits imposed by this International Standard shall clearly be stated by the
manufacturer/supplier.
4.1.2 Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH)
* The NPSH required (NPSHR) shall be based on cold water testing as determined by testing in accordance
with ISO 9906 unless otherwise agreed.
The manufacturer/supplier shall make available a typical curve as a function of flow for water. NPSHR
curves shall be based upon a head drop of 3 % (NPSH3).
Correction factors for hydrocarbons shall not be applied to the NPSHR curves.
Pumps shall be selected such that the minimum NPSH available (NPSHA) in the installation exceeds the
NPSHR of the pump by at least the specified safety margin. This safety margin shall be not less than 0,5 m,
but the manufacturer/supplier may specify a significantly higher margin depending on factors including the
following:
— size, type, specific speed, hydraulic geometry or design of the pump;
— operating speed or inlet velocity;
— the pumped liquid and temperature;
— the cavitation erosion resistance of the construction materials.
4.1.3 Outdoor installation
The pumps shall be suitable for outdoor installation under normal ambient conditions.
* Local regulations or extraordinary ambient conditions, such as high or low temperatures, corrosive
environment, sandstorms, for which the pump is required to be suitable shall be specified by the purchaser.

4.2.1 General
The following shall be considered when determining the power/speed requirements of the pump.
a) The application and method of operation of the pump. For example, in an installation intended for
parallel operation, the possible performance range with only one pump in operation, taking into account
the system characteristic.
b) The position of the operating point on the pump characteristic curve.
c) The circulation flow for lubrication of bearings and removal of heat losses (especially for pumps with
low rates of flow).
d) Properties of the pumped liquid (viscosity, solids content, density, specific heat, vapour pressure).
ISO/DIS 15783:2025(en)
e) Power loss, including slip loss through transmission (only magnet drive pumps).
f) Atmospheric conditions at the pump site.
g) Starting method of the pump:
— if a pump (e.g., a stand-by pump) is started automatically then consideration shall be given to whether
the pump may start against a closed valve, or whether the pump may start against an open valve
or be pumping into an empty pipeline; i.e. operates within a pumping system in which the pump
pressure is provided only for pipeline friction losses.
h) For variable speed arrangements the minimum continuous speed shall be indicated by the manufacturer/
supplier to ensure proper cooling and lubrication of the bearings.
Prime movers required as drivers for seal-less pumps covered by this International Standard shall have
power output ratings at least equal to the percentage of rated power input given in Figure 3, this value never
being less than 1 kW.
Where it appears that this will lead to unnecessary oversizing of the driver, an alternative proposal shall be
submitted for the purchaser's approval.
4.2.2 Magnetic drive pumps
When determining the permanent magnetic drive to be used, the following points shall be taken into
consideration in addition to the points a) to h) listed under 4.2.1.
a) The magnetic drive shall be selected for the allowed operating range with the selected impeller diameter
at operating temperature and taking into consideration the characteristics of the liquid to be pumped.
* If the density of the liquid of the normal operation is below 1 000 kg/m3 special agreements between the
manufacturer/supplier and purchaser for testing and cleaning shall be made.
b) Heat generated by eddy current losses, power losses in the shell, power losses in the bearings and power
losses due to liquid circulation shall be removed by pumped liquid or by supply of external cooling fluid.
c) The magnetic material temperature shall be maintained at or below rated values for the material used.
Magnetic materials should not be subject to irreversible losses.
d) The irreversible magnetic losses at operating temperatures of the magnetic drive shall be considered.
Fluids containing magnetically attracted particles should be avoided unless such particles can be effectively
removed.
Special arrangements may be provided to avoid formation of ice in air gaps when pumping cold liquids.
The magnetic drive shall be designed in such a manner that start-up will not cause the magnet assemblies to
decouple.
4.2.3 Canned motor pumps
Canned motors are generally cooled by circulation of pumped liquid or by the use of coolant liquid to remove
heat generated by the containment liner, eddy current losses, motor electrical losses and mechanical losses.
Stator winding temperatures shall be maintained at or below values established for the grade of insulation used.
ISO/DIS 15783:2025(en)
Figure 3 — Prime mover output, percentage of pump power input at rated conditions
When rating a canned motor, the conditions listed below shall be taken into consideration in addition to
points a) to h) listed under 4.2.1:
— power losses within the canned rotor;
— power losse
