2) There will be correction factors for head, flow, and efficiency (Ch, Cq, Ce).
Low viscosity will only have a significant effect on efficiency. As you increase, it will require correction to head and flow as well.
The significance? You need a bigger motor and maybe bigger impellers

The pump manufacturer is the best source to answer the question for a particular application.

See the HI info.
Small low SS pumps have a problem getting enough fluid into them t pump it. For pipeline centrifugal pumps, 500 cP is more like it.
What would you be doing, if you knew that you could not fail?

You will use the chart or you will use polinomial form to calculate those correction factors.
Polinomial form are publisehd on:

In industrial centrifugal pump, corrections factor will be negligible for lower values than published on chart, you are able to check this with polonomial form.
HI, has a new method to calculate corrections factors.
Nomograph is not used any more.
I hope this helps.
