Checking Pump Field Conditions vs Pump's Performance Curve
Checking Pump Field Conditions vs Pump's Performance Curve
(OP)
What are the proper producers to check the actual (field) operating conditions of a centrifugal pump, which is pumping hydrocarbon of 0.5 SG, vs manufacturer’s pump performance curve (medium test is water)?
What are the tolerances criteria between manufacturer’s curve data and my field conditions?
Many, many thanks

RE: Checking Pump Field Conditions vs Pump's Performance Curve
This information can be converted for an SG 0.5 and compared to the published curve for one point which should be the operating point - any other duty points are not really relevent unless the pump has to operate at a number of points on its curve.
As for tolerance - who knows, it will depend entirely on the accuracy of the field testing.
