Scope of Standard: ANSI/HI 20.3 presents a simplified method to predict normally attainable efficiency levels at the best efficiency point for selected types of rotodynamic pumps when the rate of flow, total head per stage, net positive suction head available (NPSHA), and the service conditions are known. The standard provides guidelines on the following pump types:

Slurry, end suction
Solids-handling, end suction pumps
Submersible sewage, end suction
Stock, end suction
Horizontal multistage, axial split, segmented ring diffuser barrel
ASME B73, API end suction, end suction – small
End suction – large (greater than 0.3 m³/s (5000 gpm)
API double suction
Double suction, general service
Vertical turbine, mixed-flow and propeller, single and multistage diffuser type

What You Will Learn:

Better understanding across all types of rotodynamic pumps on how to approximate the efficiency of a pump based on flow, different features (i.e. super smooth pump finish/water passes more swiftly), speed, pressure and other parameters.
Gain knowledge of standardized industry terms to interface with other engineers on pump efficiency.

Applicable Markets: Most markets where centrifugal pumps are used.

Content: Pump types and factors that influence efficiency such as surface roughness, internal pump clearances and different types of pumpage, (graphs portray the relationship of pump efficiency versus different parameters), special impeller designs, such as those intended to increase suction specific speed or provide a specific curve shape can reduce the attainable efficiency, thrust balance devices as well as an example on how to attain efficiency of a solids handling submersible sewage pump.
