3.3.12.1 Maximum rubbing speed in feet per minute (ft/min) for a particular class pump
shall be the speed established for the class pump during the qualification test. Pumps
shall not be offered or furnished on any contract or order which operate at a rubbing speed
greater than the rubbing speed at which the pump of the same class operated on qualification
test.
3.3.13 Threaded fasteners.
3.3.13.1 Threaded parts, such as bolts, studs, and nuts shall conform to Handbook H28.
