API 610 Pump - How to choose between Overhung and Between Bearings
API 610 Pump - How to choose between Overhung and Between Bearings
(OP)
Hello everyone,
I am designing some API 610 Pumps for off-shore use.
I have a doubt when to use overhungs pumps or between bearings pumps
I know that I have to use between bearings for high flows, but how high?
Can you help me, please?

BB are usually multi stage major pumps of probably 250kW or more and high pressure high flow units.
Each vendor will have different model ranges which have different ranges of flow and pressure.
Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.

Otherwise you don't give much information to decide between them.
Do you have a specific application in mind, or are you trying to frame a general rule of thumb?

You, know .... the one that your company developed at its own expense to guide newbie engineers like yourself...
I am sure that you do not have to rely upon tribal knowledge or vague memories of things "that an older engineer once told me years ago"
What ???... !!! No in-house guideline ? .... Are you relying on old CHEVRON or EXXON guides that you found on the internet
More details please ....
There are many other choices to be made when specifying pumps
What is your pumped liquid, Design temperatures and Pressures etc....????

It is a capital mistake to theorise before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. (Sherlock Holmes - A Scandal in Bohemia.)
