Abstract
A multistage in-line rotary pump which comprises a closed pump body, a base element provided with suction and delivery connectors, and a head element. The pump body is surrounded by a cylindrical jacket or casing spaced from the pump body to form an annular return space, which casing is clamped between the base and head elements by means of stay bolts. Flat joints are provided between the base and head elements and the respective axial ends of the casing. To prevent high areal compression stresses in the area of the flat joints, the two extremities of the casing are plastically deformed to obtain a wall thickness which is greater than the wall thickness of the rest of the casing tube.
