ABSTRACT:
A sheet-metal centrifugal pump casing comprising a casing shell having a suction port and being formed of a steel plate by means of deep drawing using a press, and having a suction flange firmly attached to the suction port of the casing shell is disclosed. The centrifugal pump casing further comprises a partition body firmly attached to the inner surface of the casing shell for partitioning a space within the casing shell into a suction chamber and a pressure chamber, and a diffuser which is integrally extended from the suction side end portion of the partition body and which tapers off toward peripheral edge of said suction port so that an axial gap is formed between the end edge of the diffuser and the peripheral edge of said suction port.
Since the axial gap is formed between the end edge of the diffuser and the peripheral edge of the suction port, even in the case of the suction flange is acted upon by an external force such as by piping, a deformation does not affect the partition body, thus, problems such as contact between the partition body and the impeller may be completely avoided.
