Pump Assembly
Mechanical and Electrical
The assembled elements of a device that raises, transports or compresses fluids by mechanical action.
Only includes pumps fixed in a particular location. Mobile pumps which are transported to be used at various locations are not included in this definition.
Pump assemblies are displayed in AIMS as a point at the centre of the structure.
Please note that this asset sub-type and its elements have been added to the DRL for test and demonstration purposes only.
Elements
An Element Type is a component part of an Asset Type. Each Asset Type (except Asset Complex assets) will comprise of a prescribed set of Element Types. Some Element Types are essential and must be present to define an asset of that Asset Type. Other Element Types are optional, to be included when needed to define a particular Asset Type instance. An individual asset may have more than one instance of each Element Type.
This table lists the Element Types applicable to this Asset Type.
| Element Type | Description | Element Code | Essential | Uniclass 2015 | Updates |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bellows | A pipe expansion joint, an inset section for a pipe to allow for expansion and misalignment. | BEL | No | 20-01-2021 | |
| Cathodic Protection | A corrosion protection system applied to ferrous metal structures and pipeline. | CTH | No | Pr_65_70_13 | 20-01-2021 |

| Draindown Fountain | A pipe fitting designed to allow water to be drained from a pipeline with minimal effect on the surroundings, which aerates water before it discharges into a river. It is essentially an inverted bell mouth connected to control valves. | DDF | No | 20-01-2021 | |
| Electricity Meter | A device installed on an asset with an electricity supply to record the amount of electricity used. This can automatically send readings to a host system for monitoring purposes. | EMT | No | Ss_75_70_54_25 | 20-01-2021 |
| Electricity Sub Meter | A smaller device installed on an asset with an electricity supply to record the amount of electricity used, this will not feed back readings to a host system but can be read manually to record the electrical usage of an asset that has multiple electrical elements or an asset complex. | ESM | No | Ss_75_70_54_25 | 20-01-2021 |
| Filter or Strainer | A specialist powered device to strain water which automatically cleans itself when blocked. | FLS | No | Pr_65_57_95_96 | 20-01-2021 |
| Gearbox | Part of transmission used for regulating power from an engine. | GBX | No | Pr_85_50_27_28 | 20-01-2021 |
| Motor | A machine that uses electricity to produce movement, to make a machine work. | MOT | No | Pr_75_51_26 | 20-01-2021 |
| Pipe Joint | A specialised mechanical joint or coupling used to connect two sections of pipe, e.g. Victaulic, Viking Johnson (VK). | PJT | No | Pr_65_52_62 | 20-01-2021 |
| Pipework | A system of pipes used to convey fluids in or between assets. | PWK | No | Pr_65_52_63 | 20-01-2021 |
| Pump | A device that raises, transports or compresses fluids by mechanical action. | PMP | Yes | Pr_65_53_24 | 20-01-2021 |
| Pump Valves | Devices which control the flow of liquid through a pump. | PMV | No | Pr_65_54_30_12 | 20-01-2021 |
| Springs | An elastic device, typically a metal coil/helix, that can be compressed or stretched but returns to its former shape when released. Used primarily to exert constant tension or absorb movement. | SPR | No | Pr_20_29_10_21 | 20-01-2021 |
| Surge Vessel | A product used to absorb the impact from a sudden change in the flow of water. | SGV | No | Pr_60_50 | 20-01-2021 |
| Vertical Extended Spindle | The vertical rotating axis of a machine such as a pump. | VES | No | Pr_65_53_65_94 | 20-01-2021 |
Attributes
An attribute is a particular piece of data that describes a property of an object. Each Asset Type is described by a different set of attributes, although there are some attributes that are common to many Asset Types.
The table below lists the attributes that are applicable to this Asset Type, along with the data profile requirements for each attribute and details of when and how each should be used and delivered.
