    Why some SPECS ask pump operation to the left of the BEP?

    mmm, In case of accomodating future capacity increase, i think it is better to try to estimate this value to know impact on pump.

    Why some SPECS ask pump operation to the left of the BEP?

    Reliability goes up between 70-120% BEP. Hydraulic and vibration, seals, bearings problems decrease in this range. That is because design of pump ocurrs at BEP. I hope this helps.

    Centrifugal pumps with backlog impeller

    No it is not on API. This pump does not meet API 610 standard. Recessed impellers are used for other industries, application and fluids that are not on gas/petroleum refinery industry.

    API 676

    Internal RValve are reliable than pump itself. But it is recommended to use another in the system , too.

    API 610 Temperature reading during testing.

    Yes, it not mandatory but API610, but it will be mandatory by your specificaction, datasheet or your description uses on your purchaser order.

    Pump Designing

    Goes from 4000 to 12000 GPM will impact in TDH (actual of 150 ft) So GPM increase around 3 times, and it is huge change. If static head is 0, then TDH will increase 9 times, about 1350ft of TDH!!!! So you may take care about pipeline system too. Maybe modify to try to not to go to 1350 ft. If...

    Low flow and high head! OH6 or a Reciprocating Pump?

    Thinking in Centrifugals. MultiStage Radial Section or Ring section called BB4 with acceptable effy of 40%. OH2LF - Low Flow could do it, but very low effy , around 12%.

    Technical Bid evaluation

    I understand you work on engineering company or project area and you have different 03 pumps packages. Pump packages are not for the same services. But when you define this bid, did you define technical evaluation method?

    Centrifugal pump-mechanical run test withoutout mechanical seal

    You are buying or selling pumps? Recommendable is that your run test will be with lab mechanical seal. There is another tests for Job mechanical seal.

    Significance of Pump end curve

    Simple. You could cut performance curve to 110 or 120%.

    exit angle of an impeller

    Yes, Made a front view of tour impeller, measure angle of vane line and tangencial line in eacn vane. average angle could work very well. As per desing, you could calculate Ns and go to pump handbook to see how much angle will be. You may underfile or overfiled vanes an change performance curves.

    help me to find good pumps manufacturers

    American Pumps Mfg: Goulds, Flowserve, Viking, a long etc. European Pumps Sulzer, KSB, Bornemann, a long etc. What are major number of pump on your plant? What has better after market services? Some questions could help to find suitable one for you.

    Air compressor Tank

    All, I think "every" means "often". It is recommendable to has an air receiver is essential to every compressed air system to act as a buffer. Control valve will do continuing compressor running loosing energy. If power compressor is high, you will loose a lot of money with control valve. I...

    Pumping/metering Corrosive Chemicals

    Vasquezand1, Do you looking for pump mfg or engineering company to make engineering first? It seem to be a small project, it is better to do by your own. If you need a specified amount in a reactor for example, you will use a metering pump if capacity is low. If your applications fall in...

    ASME B 73.2M Pump Manufacturers

    Nissmurano, For sewage you will use a submersible grinder pump : http://www.flygtus.com/ http://www.gouldspumps.com/download_files/HSU/Bsubmersible.pdf But there are not B73.2, since pump B73.2 features desing are not more recommendable for sewage aplication. But if you have some fluid...

    Viscosity correction for liquid

    AKVS24, You will use the chart or you will use polinomial form to calculate those correction factors. Polinomial form are publisehd on: http://www.warrenpumps.com/brochures/Fluid%20Viscosity%20Effects.PDF In industrial centrifugal pump, corrections factor will be negligible for lower values...
