How to Select a Pump Model

  1. Determine required flow rate and discharge head including pipeline losses.
  2. Verify maximum suction lift does not exceed allowable self-priming height.
  3. Confirm solid particle size and content fall within allowable range.
  4. Select rotational speed (1450 rpm or 2900 rpm) based on duty requirement and energy considerations.
  5. Ensure working pressure class matches system design pressure.
✔ Model selection must be determined according to suction conditions, duty point, and medium characteristics.

 Engineering Notes

• Self-priming performance depends on initial filling of pump casing before first startup.

• Suction pipeline must be airtight to maintain vacuum formation.

• Excessive suction lift may reduce priming efficiency.

• Backflow prevention is recommended for elevated discharge systems.

Compliance & Quality Assurance

• Factory hydraulic performance test

• Casing hydrostatic pressure test

• Impeller dynamic balance inspection

• Seal chamber leakage inspection

• Optional third-party inspection available

Safety Notice

• Do not operate under dry-running condition

• Ensure suction line is airtight before operation

• Do not exceed allowable suction lift

• Disconnect power before maintenance
