APPLICATION OF PUMP

PUMP IS USED FOR TRANSPORTATION OF LIQUID AND GAS FOR VARIUOS APPLICATION IN INDUSTRIES
AND OTHER FIELDS.

TYPE OF PUMP

PUMPS ARE GENERALLY DIVIDED INTO THE FOLLOWING CATAGORIES DEPENDING ON THE APPLICATION

1 CENTRIFUGAL PUMP
2 POSITIVE DISPLACEMENT PUMP
3 RECIPROCATING PUMP

THESE THREE CATAGORIES ARE AGAIN DIVIDED INTO THE FOLLOWING

CENTRIFUGAL

HORIZONTAL VERTICAL

1 RADIAL SPLIT FOOT MOUNTED INLINE

2 AXIAL SPLIT DRY PIT NON CLOG PUMP
3 MULTISTAGE WET PIT SUMP PUMP
4 RADIAL SPLIT CENTRELINE MOUNTED MIXED FLOW & AXIAL FLOW TURBINE PUMP
5 NON METALLIC PUMP CANNED
6 NON CLOG PUMP BOREWELL
7 LINED SLURRY PUMP PORTABLE NON CLOG SEWAGE PUMP
8 WET SELF PRIMING SUBMERSIBLE PORTABLE DEWATERING PUMP
9 DRY SELF PRIMING SUBMERSIBLE PROCESS PUMP
10 VACUUM PUMP NON CLOG SUMP PUMP
11 MIXED FLOW PUMP SLURRY PUMP
THE SELECTION OF PUMP DEPENDS ON THE FOLLOWING FACTORS

1 DISCHARGE CAPACITY IN M3/HR OR LPM OR CUSEC.

2 TOTAL HEAD IN MTS OR FT

3 SUCTION LIFT IF ANY IN MTS OR FT

4 NPSHA IN MTS OR FT TO DETERMINE THE SUCTION CONDITION

5 NATURE OF LIQUID TO HANDLE

A NAME OF THE LIQUID
B SPECIFIC GRAVITY OF LIQUID
C TEMPERATURE OF LIQUID IN CENT OR FER
D VISCOSITY OF LIQUID IN CPS OR CST OR SSU
E SOLID PARTICLE IN MM
F PH VALUE OF LIQUID

6 TANK OF SUMP DIMENSION IN CASE OF VERTICAL PUMP

HOW TO SELECT PUMP

STEP
1 DEPENDING ON THE SITE CONDITION WE HAVE TO DETERMINE, INSTALLATION TO BE
VERTICAL OR HORIZONTAL
2 NATURE OF THE LIQUID LIKE, PARTICLE SIZE, VISCOSITY, LEADS US TO SELECT
THE TYPE OF PUMP SUITABLE.
DEPENDING ON THE NATURE OF LIQUID THE TYPE OF PUMPS ARE SELECTED LIKE
A WATER OR CLEAN LIQUID AT AMBIENT TEMP, NORMAL VISCOSITY, NUTRAL LIQUID - APPLICATION LIKE WATER SUPPLY
LIQUID BOOSTING, FIRE FIGHTING, SPINKLER IRRIGATION, BOILER DESCALING, ETC.
SINGLE STAGE,DOUBLE STAGE OR MULTISTAGE ORDINARY PUMP AS PER IS-5120/IS-6595/ISO-2858 PUMPS ARE USED.
B FOR HANDLING PARTICLE , NONCLOG PUMPS ARE USED.
C FOR PROCESS APPLICATION TO HANDLE, ACID, ALKALI, PETROLEUM PRODUCT, CHEMICAL SLURRY,HIGH TEMP APPLICATION,
PROCESS PUMPS ARE USED AS PER API 610 & NON API PUMPS ARE USED, TEMPERATURE ABOVE 100 DEG CENT,
GLAND COOLING IS APPLICABLE, ABOVE 160 DEG CENT BEARING COOLING TO BE ADDED AND ABOVE 250 DEG CENT
CENTRELINE MOUNTED PUMPS ARE TO BE ONLY USED.
D FOR HIGH VISCOUS CLEAN LIQUID LIKE LUB OIL GEAR PUMP IS APPLICABLE AND WITH PARTICLE SCREW PUMP IS THE REMEDY.
E FOR HIGH PRESSURE JETTING PISTON OR PLUNGER PUMPS ARE USED.
F FOR DOSING OF LIQUID AT FLOW RANGE OF 10 TO 1000 LPH METERING PUMPS ARE USED.
G FOR FIRE FIGHTING APPLICATION RADIAL/AXIAL SPLIT PUMPS ARE
H FOR HIGH DISCHARGE & LOW HEAD APPLICATION MIXED FLOW & AXIAL FLOW PUMPS ARE USED.
I TO SUCK OR TRANSPORT GASES VACUUM PUMPS ARE USED.
J DRY SELF PRIMING PUMPS ARE USED ONLY FOR CLEAN AND VOLATILE LIQUID AT NEGATIVE SUCTION
TO AVOID AIR LOCKING AT SUCTION.

3 FROM PERFORMANCE CURVE, DATA OF FLOWRATE & HEAD HEPLS US TO ACCERTAIN THE SIZE OF THE PUMP
TO BE SELECTED.MORE THE HEAD THE IMPELLER DIAMETER SHOULD BE MORE.
IF THE HEAD IS HIGH AND DISCHARGE IS LESS, PUMP AT HIGH SPEED IS SELECTED IF
THE APPLICATION ALLOWS.
, IF THE APPLICATION DOES NOT ALLOW HIGH SPEED PUMP OF 2900 RPM, THEN WE HAVE TO
SELECT TWO STAGE SPLIT CASE PUMP AND FURTHER MULTISTAGE PUMP.
FOR HIGHER FLOW THE PUMP OF GREATER SUCTION & DELIVERY SIZE TO BE CHOSEN.
4 THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR FOR SELECTION IS THE SUCTION CONDITION OF THE PUMP.
A. IF THE PUMP IS OF POSITIVE SUCTION THEN WE NEED TO CALCULATE THE NPSHA OF THE SYSTEM.
THE NPSHR OF THE PUMP SHOULD BE ATLEAST 0.5 MT LESS THAN NPSHA OF THE SYSTEM FOR
CAVITATION FREE OPERATION.
B THOUGH THE SUCTION IS POSITIVE IN CERTAIN APPLICATION LIKE CONDENSATE WATER, CANNED
PUMPS ARE USED TO AVOID CAVITATION CONSIDERING THE OPERATION MOST CRITICAL.
C IN CASE OF NEGATIVE SUCTION TO AVOID PRIMING DUE TO LEAKAGE THROUGH FOOT VALVE
THE FOLLOWING DEVICE ARE USED
SELF PRIMING TANK AT SUCTION OF THE PUMP
VACUUM PUMP FITTED WITH THE SAME DRIVE
DRY OR WET SELF PRIMING PUMP
D THE IDEAL WAY FOR NEGATIVE SUCTION APPLICATION IS TO SELECT PUMP FROM THE LIST
BELOW , IF THE SYSTEM OR THE APPLICATION PERMITS
VERTICAL SUBMERSIBLE PORTABLE PUMP
VERTICAL SUMP PUMP.
VERTICAL BOREWELL PUMP
VERTICAL TURBINE PUMP

E IN CASE OF HIGH SUCTION PRESSURE ADEQUATE MEASURE SHOULD BE TAKEN WHILE SELECTING
THE PUMP DESIGN PRESSURE, MECH SEAL ETC.

5 POWER CALCULATION

A CALCULATION
 INPUT POWER OF PUMP = Q(DISCHARGE) IN M3/HR X H( HEAD ) IN MTS X EFFICIENCY X SP GR OF LIQUID / 3.6 X 102

EXAMPLE , Q = 100 M3/HR, H = 20 MTS, EFF AT DP = 66%, SP GR = 1.1

100 X 20 X 100 X 1.1 / 3.6 X 102 X 66 = 9.1 KW

B IN CASE OF LIQUID ABOVE 10 CST CORRECTION SHOULD BE MADE CONSIDERING VISCOSITY

CORRECTION CHART AS APPLICABLE FOR HEAD, DISCHARGE, POWER, NPSHR & EFFICIENCY.

C POWER INPUT IS DIRECTLY MULTIPLIED WITH SP GR OF THE LIQUID.

D DRIVE SELECTION ARE MADE CONSIDERING THE FOLLOWING RULES AS MENTIONED BY THE PURCHASER.
10% MARGIN ON THE INPUT POWER AT DUTY POINT ( GENERAL )
CONSIDERING POWER ABSORBED AT -10% LOWER HEAD OF THE RATED HEAD. ( COALFIELD )
POWER ABSORBED AT 150% OF THE RATED FLOW ( FIRE FIGHTING )
POWER ABSORBED AT END OF THE PERFORMANCE CURVE OPERATION OF THE RATED IMPELLER DIA ( API 610 8TH ED ).

6 MATERIAL OF CONSTRUCTION
A NON CORROSSIVE / ABBRESSIVE LIQUID AT NORMAL TEMPERATUE CAST IRON PUMPS ARE USED
B FOR HYDROCARBON APPLICATION CARBON STEEL PUMPS ARE USED
C FOR ACID / ALKALI DEPENDING ON THE PH VALUE AND TEMP/ CONCENTRATION OF THE LIQUID
BRONZE/ SS304/SS316/CN7/MONEL/HASTELLOY B OR C/ CD4MCU ARE USED. NEED TO CONSULT
MATERIAL SELECTION CHART FOR THIS PURPOSE.
D FOR ABBRESSIVE LIQUID LIKE, SLUURY & SEWAGE, NI ALLOY, NIHARD, RUBBERLINED PUMPS
ARE USED.
