G196 Programme · Griswold 811 Replacement
The Griswold 811 is an ANSI/ASME B73.1 open-impeller process pump, and B73.1 is precisely what makes a cross-make replacement reviewable: the standard fixes envelope and interface dimensions by size designation, independent of whose nameplate is on the frame. YSM’s G196 programme manufactures to that dimensional logic, so an installed 811 can be replaced by the G196 of the same size and group — reviewed on drawings and nameplate data before anything ships, with the hydraulic selection re-run on a size-specific curve rather than assumed.
G196 series-level maximums; working pressure to 375 psig (2,586 kPa). The replacement size and frame, and its limits, are confirmed from the installed pump nameplate and drawing on a reviewed, size-specific curve.
The 811 Changeover and the G196 Programme
When an installed 811 reaches the end of a rebuild cycle — casing wall at its corrosion allowance, frame damaged, or parts support running slower than the plant can tolerate — the decision splits into two paths: keep feeding the installed pump parts, or change the pump over and reset the maintenance clock. This page carries the changeover path. The G196 is YSM’s ANSI/ASME B73.1 open-impeller programme and shares the 811’s own design logic — fully open impeller with external adjustment, back pull-out power end — with the wet-end and power-end manufacturing scope documented across this site.
Series context
G196 Series ANSI Chemical Process Pumps
The family page carries the published size list, the frame parts-commonality charts, the performance coverage curves and the interchangeability tables — the reference material a changeover review reads from.

Replacement Parts Center
If the honest answer is parts rather than a pump, the parts programme covers casing to feet for B73.1 pumps of the referenced patterns, with the identification and ordering routes.
Open the Replacement Parts CenterInterchange Basis: Size Designations and Groups
811 sizes read the same way G196 sizes do — discharge × suction − nominal impeller diameter, in inches — because both follow the B73.1 designation convention. A changeover review therefore starts from the nameplate: size designation and group first, then the G196 row of the same designation on the published dimensional grid. The published G196 coverage by frame:
| G196 frame | Published sizes reviewed for 811 changeovers |
|---|---|
| STX | 1×1.5-6, 1.5×3-6, 2×3-6, 1×1.5-8, 1.5×3-8 |
| MTX / LTX | 2×3-8 through 4×6-13, including selected G and H variants |
| XLTX | 6×8-13, 8×10-13, 6×8-15, 8×10-15, 8×10-15G |
A designation outside this list is not refused — it is reviewed case-by-case against the family’s manufacturing base rather than promised from a table.

Quick Selection Summary
The envelope below is the G196 series-level published range — the frame inside which an 811 duty is re-selected. Send the duty the installed pump actually runs, or the original selection data, and the review confirms the size on its own curve.
| Standard | ANSI/ASME B73.1 | Pump type | Horizontal end-suction process pump |
|---|---|---|---|
| Impeller | Open impeller; external adjustment | Frames | STX, MTX, LTX, XLTX |
| Series flow | Up to 7,000 US GPM (1,590 m³/h) | Series head | Up to 730 ft (223 m) |
| Series temperature | Up to 700°F (371°C) | Series pressure | Up to 375 PSIG (2,586 kPa) |
Important: these are series-level maximums, not guaranteed limits for every size. Final limits depend on selected size, speed, material, seal and operating conditions.
What Carries Over, What Is Reviewed
A changeover succeeds when both halves of this table are respected: the standard carries the dimensions, and the review carries everything the standard does not.
Carried by the standard
For a same-size, same-group changeover confirmed from nameplate data: the envelope and interface dimensions on the B73.1 grid — centreline heights, foot pattern, flange positions — the letters on the installation drawings below. This is what makes the physical exchange a bolt-down rather than a re-pipe.
Confirmed at changeover
The hydraulic selection on the size-specific curve; wetted materials against the liquid as it runs today, not as it was first specified; seal chamber and sealing plan; coupling, guard and motor-frame compatibility; baseplate condition and grout. A changeover is also the cheapest moment to correct a selection the service has drifted away from.
Design Features
The maintenance logic an 811 operator already runs is the logic the G196 carries — stated here with the consequence each feature has in service.
Wet end
Fully open impeller with external adjustment and multiple casing, impeller and cover material options. As service wear opens the running clearance, the external setting restores it with the pump in place — recovering head and efficiency between overhauls without a wet-end strip-down.
Seal area
Standard, large-bore and taper-bore seal chambers, with packed-box and mechanical-seal arrangements in the source parts structure. The chamber is the seal’s operating environment — volume, circulation, solids behaviour at the faces — so the changeover review confirms it together with the sealing plan rather than after it.
Power end
SKF or equivalent bearings behind labyrinth isolators in bronze or stainless steel, with sleeved and sleeve-less shaft combinations. Non-contact isolators exclude wash-down water and process vapour without a rubbing lip that wears out, and the bearing arrangement stays conventional and sourceable through normal industrial channels.
Materials of Construction
Replacement is a materials checkpoint. The installed pump’s material can be carried over like-for-like, or reviewed for an upgrade where the service has outgrown it. Alloy names cross to the cast grades YSM publishes as follows:
| Commonly specified on the installed pump | YSM published wet-end option |
|---|---|
| 316 stainless steel | CF8M (cast 316) |
| Duplex CD4MCu | CD4MCu |
| Alloy 20 | CN7M |
| Carbon steel | WCB |
| Hastelloy B / C | Hastelloy B & C |
| Nickel | 100% Nickel |
| Monel | Monel |
| Titanium | Titanium |
| Zirconium | Zirconium alloy |
Where the installed casing is ductile iron, the review proposes the closest published G196 option — WCB carbon steel or a stainless grade — against the liquid, concentration and temperature. A material name is not a compatibility conclusion; the material input checklist prepares that review.
Seal and Shaft Options
Sealing decisions travel together: chamber, sealing device and shaft arrangement form one system, and a changeover is the natural moment to revisit all three.
Seal environment
Packed-box and mechanical-seal wet ends across standard, large-bore and taper-bore seal chambers. State the liquid’s solids content, vapour behaviour and any flush constraints in the enquiry — they decide which chamber gives the seal the environment it needs.
Shaft arrangements
Sleeved and sleeve-less shafts in several shaft and sleeve alloys. A sleeved shaft puts a renewable wear surface under the sealing device; a solid shaft maximises stiffness at the seal faces. The final arrangement is matched to the liquid, pressure, temperature and site sealing practice during review.
Scope: Complete Pump, Bare Wet End, or Parts
Three scopes answer an 811 enquiry, and naming the right one in the first message saves a review cycle.
Complete pump
The changeover path this page describes: a G196 of the same size and group, configured to the reviewed duty, materials and sealing plan, and confirmed from nameplate data before order.
Bare wet end
Where the power end is serviceable, a wet end built under the same review discipline. B73.1 fixes the pump’s external interfaces, not the internal frame joints — so wet-end-onto-installed-frame proposals travel through drawing or sample evidence, never through assumption.
Parts for the installed 811
Part-level interchange into an installed 811 is not assumed from pump-level dimensional logic. Obsolete or undocumented parts follow the reverse-engineering path — drawing, sample or dimensioned photographs — at the Replacement Parts Center.
Part numbers and sectional drawings
Part positions, YSM references and the OEM numbers they are quoted against are published once, on the parts pages, rather than repeated on every changeover page. The STX, MTX and XLT-X sectional drawings and the full frame-by-frame list are there:
- Goulds 3196 pattern pump parts — casing, impeller, cover, adapter, bearing frame, shaft and sleeve references by frame and size, with the sectional drawings.
- Replacement ANSI pump parts — the full cross-reference across the G196 and D Mark III programmes.
- Pump part number lookup — start from a single part number.
All part numbers shown on those pages are for identification only. All parts are non-OEM and manufactured by YSM.
Installation Dimensions
The G196 reference drawings below carry the dimensional vocabulary a changeover review is conducted in: the outline elevation locates CP, X, D, Y, F and U; the foot plan carries E1, E2, F and H. Read the installed pump’s nameplate size and group first, then the same-designation G196 row. Confirm against a certified drawing for the specific size and configuration before construction.

Griswold 811 Replacement FAQ
Can the G196 replace my Griswold 811 without re-piping?
For the same size designation and group, yes: the G196 is built to the ASME B73.1 installation dimensions, so mounting, nozzle sizes and locations and the input shaft match. Fit is confirmed from your nameplate data — size designation, group and configuration — and the installed pump drawing before any order is accepted.
Can the existing baseplate, piping and motor stay?
The B73.1 grid carries the envelope and interface dimensions for a same-size, same-group changeover, which is what keeps baseplate and piping in place. Coupling, guard and motor-frame compatibility, and the baseplate’s actual condition, are confirmed during the review — they belong to the installation, not to the standard.
Will the replacement perform identically to the 811 it replaces?
The honest answer is that it is re-selected, not cloned. The duty point is confirmed on a reviewed, size-specific G196 curve; the published series envelope frames the range, and the curve decides the operating point. If the installed pump had drifted from its duty, the changeover is the moment that gets corrected.
Do you supply spare parts for an installed 811?
Part-level interchange into another maker’s pump is not assumed from pump-level dimensional logic. Parts enquiries for an installed 811 travel the reverse-engineering path — drawing, sample or dimensioned photographs — through the Replacement Parts Center, with fit conclusions staying with the review.
Which materials can the replacement be built in?
CF8M, CD4MCu, CN7M, WCB, Monel, 100% Nickel, Hastelloy B and C, Titanium and Zirconium alloy per the published materials structure. Availability is not a chemical compatibility approval — send the liquid, concentration and temperature and the review proposes the options.
How does an 811 size designation map to a G196 size?
Directly: both read discharge × suction − nominal impeller diameter in inches, so a 3×4-8 asks for the G196 3×4-8 row. STX and XLTX follow from the size; MTX or LTX, and the pairing itself, are confirmed from the nameplate rather than from the designation alone.
What data closes a replacement review in one cycle?
A nameplate photo; the duty as run today — normal, minimum and maximum flow with required head; liquid composition, concentration, temperature, specific gravity, viscosity and solids; the wetted material and sealing arrangement in service; motor voltage and frequency; and whether the baseplate and motor are intended to stay.
How is pricing confirmed?
Quotations are issued against a reviewed selection — size and frame, materials, sealing, scope and quantity — not against a model name alone, which is why no public price list exists. Send the nameplate and duty data; the quotation then references the size-specific configuration it prices.
What are the lead time and warranty for this pump?
Typical lead time is 4 weeks for a complete pump, 2 weeks for a bare wet end and 1 week for replacement parts, from deposit and approved drawings. Warranty is 12 months from shipment against defects in materials and workmanship within the reviewed duty. Late shipment attributable to YSM is compensated at 0.5% of contract value per week, capped at 5%.
What are the payment and delivery terms?
30% T/T deposit within 7 days of order, 70% T/T before shipment, or irrevocable L/C at sight; export-grade wooden-case packing; any Incoterms 2020 term (EXW Zibo, FOB Qingdao, CIF, DAP/DDP) as agreed in the quotation. Factory witness testing and third-party inspection (SGS, BV, TÜV) are accepted. Full terms: Commercial Terms
Request an 811 Replacement Quote
The form below carries the initial request; drawings, nameplate photos and any remaining data can follow during review. The technical review uses, where available: a nameplate photo of the installed pump (model, size designation, group and serial), the duty as run today — normal, minimum and maximum flow with required head — liquid composition, concentration, temperature, specific gravity, viscosity and solids, the wetted material and sealing arrangement in service, motor voltage and frequency, whether the baseplate and motor are intended to stay, quantity, inspection or documentation needs, destination and target delivery date.
Open “Add technical details” to fill in what you know, and mark anything uncertain as unknown — a marked gap is reviewable, a silent one is not.

Griswold 811 Replacement Decision Guide
Selection boundaries save both sides a review cycle: the fastest quotation starts on the right page.
Start with this page when
- An installed 811 of a published size and group needs replacement, and a nameplate, reference number or original data sheet is available.
- The intent is a same-size, same-group changeover — complete pump or bare wet end — rather than a parts repair.
- Open-impeller external adjustment and back pull-out access match the plant’s maintenance philosophy.
Review another page when
- The duty is new rather than tied to an installed pump: start from the G196 Series and send the duty point.
- The installed pump is a Mark III-type reverse-vane design: review the D Mark III Series.
- The honest answer is parts for the installed pump: the Replacement Parts Center carries identification and ordering routes.
- The duty point is specifically low flow: the G196 Low Flow page carries the dedicated sizes.
