General data<br />
Maximum inlet pressure<br />
The following table shows the maximum permissible<br />
inlet pressure. However, the actual inlet pressure + the<br />
pressure against a closed valve must always be lower<br />
than the maximum permissible operating pressure.<br />

Vertical multistage centrifugal pumps<br />
Example of operating <strong>and</strong> inlet pressures<br />
The values for operating <strong>and</strong> inlet pressures shown<br />
in the tables must not be considered individually but<br />
must always be compared, see the following examples:<br />
Example 1:<br />
The following pump type has been selected:<br />
<strong>CR</strong> 3-10 U-A-A<br />
Max. operating pressure: 232 psi (16 bar)<br />
Max. inlet pressure: 145 psi (10 bar)<br />
Discharge pressure against a closed valve: 139 psi<br />
(9.6 bar), see page 32.<br />
This pump is not allowed to start at an inlet pressure of<br />
145 psi (10 bar), but on the other h<strong>and</strong> at an inlet pressure<br />
of 232 psi less 139 psi = 93 psi (16.0 less 9.6 = 6.4<br />
bar).<br />
Example 2:<br />
The following pump type has been selected:<br />
<strong>CR</strong> 3-2 U-A-A<br />
Max. operating pressure: 232 psi (16 bar)<br />
Max. inlet pressure: 87 psi (6 bar)<br />
Discharge pressure against a closed valve: 27 psi<br />
(1.9 bar), see page 32.<br />
This pump is allowed to start at an inlet pressure of 87<br />
psi (6 bar), as the discharge pressure against a closed<br />
valve is only 27 psi (1.9 bar), which results in an operating<br />
pressure of 87 psi + 27 psi = 114 psi (6.0 + 1.9 = 7.9 bar).<br />
On the contrary, the max. operating pressure of this<br />
pump is limited to 144 psi (7.9 bar), as a higher operating<br />
pressure will require an inlet pressure of more than 87<br />
psi (6 bar).<br />
In case the inlet or operating pressure exceeds the pressure<br />
permitted, see Custom-built <strong>Pump</strong>s, page 80.
