Intake Design for Rotodynamic Pumps (ANSI/HI 9.8-2012)Scope of Standard: Ideally, the flow of liquid into any pump should be uniform, steady, and free from swirl andentrained air. Lack of uniformity through inlet connection can result in pumps not operating to optimum designcondition and at a lower hydraulic efficiency. This technically advanced standard discusses the proper design for:

Rectangular intakesFormed suction intakesCircular pump stationsTrench-type intakes for clear liquids and for solids-bearing liquidsTanks pump suctionCan vertical turbine pump intakesUnconfined intakesCircular plan wet pit for solids-bearing liquids

What You Will Learn/Overall Benefits:

How to configure a functional pumping facility taking into consideration pump geometry and size of inletconnection to ensure uniform flow of liquid into eye of impeller for efficient, reliable operations with lessvibration Understand remedial measures for problem intakes

Applicable Markets: Water and wastewater, process service, petrochemical service and other industries thatfunnel water and other liquids through intake connections to a pump.
