Choose a pump
Describe the fluid and transfer constraints.
Project overview
- Inputs
- Design flow, fluid, viscosity, solids, temperatures and circuit layout.
- Outputs
- Operating point to check against supplier curve and circuit; no guaranteed capacity.
- Information to clarify
- Throughput, acceptance criteria, budget, supplier data and applicable documents are not assumed available.
Questions to resolve
Flow, pressure, viscosity, solids, temperature, materials and connections.
Process stages
Requirements → circuit → comparison → supplier validation.
Inputs
Design flow, fluid, viscosity, solids, temperatures and circuit layout.
Outputs
Operating point to check against supplier curve and circuit; no guaranteed capacity.
Essential equipment
Pump, connections, valves and fluid-appropriate instrumentation.
Options to assess
Options only after requirements are defined: automation, energy recovery, storage or additional instrumentation.
Site and utilities
Layout, access, loads, ventilation and available utilities; power, voltage, water and drains to confirm.
Cleaning
Contact materials, cleaning method, residues and disassembly to validate for the application.
Required tests
Curve, pressure losses, cavitation risks, leakage and compatibility.
Missing information
Throughput, acceptance criteria, budget, supplier data and applicable documents are not assumed available.
