Shut off Pressure / Design Pressure Ratio

Shut off Pressure / Design Pressure Ratio

Shut off Pressure / Design Pressure Ratio

(OP)
Hi,
Has anybody seen "shut off pressure over design pressure" ratio more than 2, ever?

Thanks for your replies

RE: Shut off Pressure / Design Pressure Ratio

Steepness of centrifugal pump head-flow curves generally depends on pump specific speed with axial flow pumps of high specific speeds having the steepest curves and the highest shutoff to design flow head ratios which might approach or even exceed 2.0. See Stepanoff's plots for various head-flow versus specific speed characteristics.
