    Estimate the discharge pressure of PD pump?

    Gents, How can i calculate the estimated discharge pressure of a positive disp. pump at a given flow only. The curves are not avialible, the vendor does not exist any more and no data at all for this pump. The pump was not in use and we will connect it to new process and need to estimate the...

    stand by pump phelosophy

    Gents, I am in the process to develop a swapping criteria for the stand by pump. When to swap , how and what frequency is required. I know it is not good to keep the s/b pump idle and it is not good to keep on starting it. So we are in between......but what to do???? the objective is to ensure...

    effect on pump operates at differnt viscosity

    Gents, If the centrifugal pump operates at different fluid , hence viscosity is different, does the head remains the same assuming no change to the system dynamics or resistance , thus the seystem curve remains the same too??? i know for a lighter fluid the discharge pressure reduces at the pump...

    liquid carry over to compressor

    upm Gents, i know the risk of carrying over liquid to comressors and what damage does it cause (and even explosion). from technical point, the compresor will act as pump and try to cpmpress liquid, but any body can explain how does this take place? is it due to heavier liquid weight thatn gas...
