Sizing, Specifying and Selecting Centrifugal Pumps.
- Authors
Raza, Asif
- Abstract
The article offers tips to determine preliminary centrifugal pump sizing to support initial cost-estimation efforts. Sizing centrifugal pumps include information on normal flowrate and rated flowrate, pressure-drop calculations, net pressure suction head (NPDSH) calculations, horsepower and efficiency and shutoff pressure. Steps to take during the specification of pumps include gathering basic process data, determining preliminary value for NPSH and specifying desired materials of construction.
