Full Description

What's New?Addition of Purpose and ScopeUpdated text and figures to clarify or improve existing materialReorganization of standard sectionsAddition of preferred units (metric and US customary) to nomenclature for primary symbolsUpdate to intake features that require a physical model studyAppendix added to provided general information regarding sediment and debris issues at intakesSignificant revision to the can pump sectionImproved guidance on the use of FSIScope of Standard: Ideally, the flow of liquid into any pump should be uniform, steady, and free from swirl and entrained air. Lack of uniformity through inlet connection can result in pumps not operating to optimum design condition and at a lower hydraulic efficiency. This technically advanced standard discusses the proper design for:Rectangular intakesFormed suction intakesCircular pump stationsTrench-type intakes for clear liquids and for solids-bearing liquidsTanks - pump suctionCan vertical turbine pump intakesUnconfined intakesCircular plan wet pit for solids-bearing liquidsWhat You Will Learn/Overall Benefits: How to configure a functional pumping facility taking into consideration pump geometry and size of inlet connection to ensure uniform flow of liquid into eye of impeller for efficient, reliable operations with less vibration Understand remedial measures for problem intakesApplicable Markets: Water and wastewater, process service, petrochemical service and other industries that funnel water and other liquids through intake connections to a pump.
