Performance Curve Notes


INLET CONDITIONS: The performance curves show “Based be increased to hold the expected vacuum to 15 In-Hg. or
on 10 (or 15) In.-Hg.,” which is the standard test condition. less. Vacuum above 20 In.-Hg. should be avoided. Refer to
This is not the maximum vacuum capability of the pump. General Catalog, Engineering Section 510 for information on
determining line size.
NPSH (Net Positive Suction Head): The NPSHR (Net
Positive Suction Head Required by the pump) is given in THIN LIQUIDS: pump capacity when handling 28 SSU
the table below and applies for viscosities through 750 liquids (solvents, etc.) is shown on the 38 SSU performance
SSU. NPSHA (Net Positive Suction Head – Available in the curve as a broken line. Pressure shown on broken line is
system) must be greater than the NPSHR. For a complete maximum recommended for 28 SSU liquid. Horsepower for
explanation of NPSH, see Application Data Sheet AD-19. 28 SSU is same as 38 SSU at any given pressure. Carbon
graphite bushings must be used handling 28 SSU liquids.
FOR VISCOSITIES UP TO 750 SSU – See NPSHR table
below. MECHANICAL EFFICIENCY: The Mechanical Efficiency
(expressed in percent) can be calculated using the following
FOR VISCOSITIES GREATER THAN 750 SSU (NPSHR formula:
data not available): The performance curves are based
on 10 or 15 In.-Hg. While vacuums up to 20 In.-Hg. will not Mechanical
