NPSH??? = Required net positive suction head in metres
The pump datum is defined as follows'
a) For horizontal units, it shall be t h e pump horizontal centre line (see Fig 2)
b) For vertical single suction pumps, it shall be the entrance eye of t h e first stage impeller
(see Fig. 2 ) .
c)
For vertical double suction pumps, it shall be the impeller discharge horizontal centre
line (see Fig 2)
3 . 2 Velocity Head (h v ) This is the kinetic energy per unit weight of liquid handled at a given section and
is expressed by the formula:
3.3 Static Suction Head (h ss ) When the liquid level m an open vessel is above t h e pump datum, static
suction head is the difference in elevaticn between t h e p u m p datum and the liquid level in the suction
vessel
When the pump draws liquid from a closed suction vessel, the pressure a c t i n g on the liquid level in
the vessel, if above the atmospheric pressure, is to be added to h s and if it is below the atmospheric pressure.
It is to be deducted from h s in order to arrive at the static suction head
Thus,
hss = hs P???
3.4 Total Suction Head (h) Suction head exists when the total suction head is above atmospheric
pressure head. This is equal to the static suction head minus the friction and entrance losses in suction
pipe line
Total suction head as determined on test bed is the reading of a suction gauge at the suction
nozzle of the p u m p corrected to pump datum plus velocity head at the pointof measurement. T h u s
hs
hss
hfs
= hgs Zs +
If the value of h s is negative, that is, the total suction head is below atmosphenc pressure head, then
total suction lift exists
3.5 Static Delivery Head ( h s a ) When the p u m p discharges into ar open vessel, the static delivery head
is the difference in elevation between the pump datum and the highest point of delivery
When the pump discharges into a closed vessel, t h e pressure acting on the liquid level in the vessel,
if above the atmospheric pressure, is to be added to h d and if it is below the a t m o s p h e nc pressure, it is to
be deducted from h d in order to arrive at the static delivery head
Thus,
hsd = hd Pd

3.6 Total Delivery Head (h d ) This is the sum total of t h e static delivery head and t h e friction and e x i s t
losses in t h e delivery pipe line.
The total delivery head, as measured on t h e test bed is t h e reading of the pressure g a u g e at the discharge of the pump corrected to pump datum plus the velocity head at the point of measurement Thus,
hd = hsd - hfd
= hgd
Zd
3.7 Total H e a d (H) This is the measure of the energy increase per unit mass of liquid imparted to it by
t h e p u m p and is, therefore, the algebraic difference of t h e total delivery head and t h e total suction head
Thus,
H = h d= h s
= (hsd + hfd) =
= (hgd
Zd
hss

) ( hgs + Zs
3.8 Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH) This is the total suction head of liquid in metres, absolute, determined at the p u m p suction nozzle and corrected to p u m p datum less the vapour pressure head of t h e liquid
at pumping temperature, at the suction nozzle in metres absolute.
Available NPSH, (NPSH a ) is a characteristic of the system in which the p u m p works. Thus,
NPSHa = hsa hvpa
= (ha hs) hvpa

Speed
3.9.1 Specific speed is a term used for classifying p u m p s on the basis of their performance and dimensional
proportions regardless of their actual size or t h e speed at which they operate. It is t h e speed expressed in
revolutions per minute of an imaginary p u m p geometrically similar in every respect to t h e actual p u m p
consideration and capable of raising 75 kg of water per second to a height of o n e metre.
3.9.2 Mathematically, specific speed is given by

9. Suction Limitations
9.1 Among t h e more important factors affecting t h e operation of a centrifugal p u m p are t h e suction conditions. Abnormally high suction lifts beyond t h e suction rating of t h e p u m p usually c a u s e considerable
reductions in capacity, head and efficiency often leading to serious trouble such as vibration and cavitation.
9.2 Cavitation can be described as t h e condition existing in flowing liquids w h e n the pressure at any point
falls below t h e vapour pressure of the liquid at t h e prevailing temperature. S o m e of t h e liquid flashes into
vapour a n d bubbles of t h e vapour are carried along with t h e liquid. If this h a p p e n s in t h e suction area of
a centrifugal pump or within t h e entrance of t h e impellers, the bubbles are carried into the impeiler a n d
undergo an increase in pressure and, therefore, c o n d e n s e and finally collapse.

IS : 51201977
1 0 . 1 . 4 The permissiblesuction lift varies with specific gravity. The height of a column of a liquid
corresponding to t h e atmospheric pressure is inversely proportional to t h e specific gravity and t h e suction
lift will vary accordingly.
1 0 . 2 Effects of Viscosity
10.2.1 Viscosity reduces t h e capacity and head.
1 0 . 2 . 2 Viscosity increases t h e p o w e r requirement d u e to disc friction losses involved a n d consequently
lowers t h e efficiency.
1 0 . 2 . 3 Viscosity affects t h e suction lift oft h e p u m p .
1 0 . 2 . 4 Thestandard performancefiguresfora p u m p arewith respectto water. In ordertog e tt h ecorres
ponding performancefigures w h e n handling a liquid of k n o w n viscositys o m ecorrections haveto be applied.
The correction factors given here are to be applied for viscosity values upto 2 4 0 centipoise, as normally t h e
rotodynamic p u m p is notto be r e c o m m e n d e d farliquids with higherviscosities.
1 0 . 2 . 6 The performance of a rotodynamic p u m p w h e n handling viscous liquids may be determined, if its
performance on water is k n o w n . The performance correction chart for viscous liquids is given in Fig. 2 5 .
The chart may also be used as an aid in selecting t h e p u m p s for given applications. The correction curves,
therefore, are not exactforany particularp u m p but areto serve as a g o o d g u i d a n c e in t h e selection ofp u m p s .
The useoft h e performance correction chart and its limitations are explained in detail in 1 4 .
1 0 . 3 Effects of Temperature
10.3.1 Temperature affects specific gravity, and t h e performance curve, irrespective of vapour pressure,
will be affected as enumerated in 1 0 . 1 .
1 0 . 3 . 2 Temperature affects t h e viscosity and t h e performance will be affected as enumerated m 1 0 . 2

11.1.1.1 Operating head range [ see 11.1 (a) (3) ] Whenever t w o or more p u m p s are involved,
a curve showing tho system-head, capacity characteristics is necessary to determine t h e operating head
range
For operating head range specification, reduction in friction head losses with decreased capacity
resultmg from an increased static head and the reverse with increased capacity resulting from a decreased
static head shall be considered
Size limitations imposed by transaction through the mine shaft are to be studied
1 1 . 1 . 1 . 2 Type of installation It may be horizontal or vertical
If vertical in dry or wet pit with enclosed shaft construction, the centre-line of the suction pipe (if fixed by existmg construction), and t h e
motor supporting floor should be defined with details
In case of open shaft construction if the vertical
distance is such that steady bearings may be required for t h e transmission shafting, location of bearing
supporting b e a m s or of floors, if fixed by s o m e local conditions, should be described
This, with t h e information as to water levels in the suction pump, will permit to select a proper length of transmission shaft

impurities present in the liquid to be handled, if any, are to be indicated The last item is of paramount
importance, as experience has s h o w n that presence of various impurities has a marked effect on the relative
resistance to corrosion of various pulp materials
1 1 . 1 . 1 . 4 Size of solids [ s e e 11.1 (b) (10) ] If the s e w a g e is not screened or commutated, it is
desirable that s e w a g e p u m p s that are on straight domestic s e w a g e service be capable of passing 65 mm
solids
On storm water or combined domestic and storm water systems, larger solids can be expected.
In such c a s e s it is usual to protect t h e p u m p s by employing trash bars of proper size on t h e suction side. A
p u m p design capable of passing very large solids for t h e capacity involved is not desirable as it often forces
t h e manufacturer to offer larger, more expensive and less efficient p u m p s than if a more reasonable smaller
size solid limitation w a s involved.

test on the pump with the specified liquid, which is usually the case, the standard performance figures for a

13.3.1 In the case of vertical turbine pumps, the expected field performance may be obtained by running
a laboratory test of the bowl assembly and then calculating the required performance. A typical laboratory
test arrangement is illustrated in Fig. 29.
13.3.1.1 The order shall specify which of the following tests are required:
a) Laboratory test, and
b) Field test.
FIG. 29
13.3.2 The pump or bowl assembly shall be tested over the operating range covering from 25 percent
to +25 percent of the specified head or up to the shut off head if it is less than +25 percent. A minimum of
five readings, approximately equidistant on the characteristic curve including the operating points shall be
taken. When the test is carried out at the specified speed, the actual speed during the test may vary within
5 percent of the specified speed. The following similarity relations shall be used for finding the corresponding discharge, head and power at the specified speed from the actual readings:

t h e specified speed shall be taken t h e s a m e as that at t h e actual speed. For large stze pumps, however, t h e
test may be carried out at a speed much lower than the specified speed (see 1 3 . 1 0 and 1 3 . 1 0 . 4 ) .

To verify t h e
1 3 . 5 Where a specification covers a range of performance, a mmimum of five sets of readings shall be taken
approximately equidistant on t h e characteristic curve.
1 3 . 6 Measurement of Speed The speed shall be measured by a revolution counter or by an accurately
calibrated tachometer, or by means of stroboscopic arrangement.
1 3 . 7 Measurement of Discharge The discharge of the p u m p may be measured by means of volumetric
tank, vee-notch, rectangular weir, standard ventun meter, pitot tube, onfice plate or a water meter. The
method adopted for discharge measurement shall be suitable for the size of t h e pump, its duty and situation.
The p u m p manufacturer shall, if required, give evidence of t h e proper calibration of t h e apparatus used.
13.7.1 Volumetric method The water shall be pumped directly into o n e or more vessels of known or
easily measurable capacity by volume or by weight, the time to fill such vessels carefully noted and t h e
discharge calculated.
N o t e This is the most satisfactory method of measurement for small flows, provided suitable means are available for
quickly switching the full flow into and away from the measuring tank.
13.7.1.1 Limits of accuracy The accuracy of t h e result by this method will depen d on t h e length
of time for which t h e flow is recorded, t h e accuracy of t h e s t o p - w a t ch as well as the method of measuring
the h e i g h t o f water in t h e tank of given cross section. Provided, every precaution is taken and the rise and
fall is not less than 3 0 0 mm, this method will give discharge correct to within 1 percent
13.7.2
Vee-notch
13.7.2.1 The vee-notc h provides a convenient method of measurement for discharges from 120 to
7 2 0 0 litres per minute. For small discharges, that is, from 120 to 2 4 0 0 litres per minute a half-90 veenotch is preferred. The half-90 vee-notch has half the area of a 90 vee-notch, t h e distance across t h e
t o p being equal to the vertical depth and t h e sides being symmetrical about the vertical axis. The discharge
of water over a half-90 vee-notc h is half that over a 90 vee-notch with the same head.
1 3 . 7 . 2 . 2 Discharge over a 90 vee-notch shall be computed from o n e of the following equations:
a)
IS : 5120 - 1977
b) The head shall be measured in t h e c o m e r s of the tlume formed by the notch bulk head if t h e
flume is sufficiently wide, or at the sides of the flume at a distance upstream from the notch,
approximately four times t h e maximum head to be measured. The g a u g e shall preferably be
placed in a separate g a u g e c h a m b e r c o n n e c t e d to the flume by a pipe normal to t h e flume.
c) The depth from t h e apex of the notch to t h e bottom of t h e channel shall be not less than 1 5 0 mm
on the d o w n s t r e a m side, while on t h e upstream side, it shall be not less than 3 0 0 mm for head s
up to 2 3 0 mm or less than 4 5 0 mm for higher h e a d s .
d) The width of the channel of approach shall be not less than 1.2 m for heads up to 2 3 0 mm and
less than 1.8 m for h e a d s up to 4 5 0 mm.
e) There shall be no projecting surfaces whatever, either on t h e notch face or on the channel
side, since these interfere with the smooth flow of the water to the notch
f) Swirling of water m the approach channel shall be prevented by suitably placing baffles
upstream of t h e point at which t h e head is measured.
g) The water level d o w n s t r e a m may be allowecl to rise within 25 mm of t h e apex of t h e notch
without affecting the result, but shall not be allowed to rise a b o v e this level w h e n measurements
are being taken
1 3 . 7 . 2 . 4 Limits of accuracy If every care is taken with the settmg and reading of t h e g a u g e s , with the
construction of the notch and t h e channel of approach, this method will give the discharge correct to within
1.5 percent for h e a d s b e t w e e n 75 and 375 mm.

N o t e 4 Particular attention shall be given to effective aeration of the nappe, failing which the computed discharge will
be much too low, due to the formation of partial vacuum under the nappe. To avoid inaccuracies due to this causa, openings

1 3 . 9 Measurement of Power Input
13.9.1 The measurements of power input fall into t w o general classes :
a) Sonne measurements are those which themselves determine the actual power or torque delivered
to t h e p u m p and are, therefore, made entirely during the test, using s o m e form of transmission
dynamometer.
b) Other measurements are t h o s e which involve measurement, during the pump test, of power input
to the driving element, and t h e previous or subsequent determination of t h e relation of t h e power
Inputto t h e power output of this driving element under identical conditions of t h e p u m p test, thus
deriving t h e efficiency oft h e driving element.
1 3 . 9 . 2 Corrections and allowances Power delivered to the p u m p shaft w h e n directly c o n n e c t e d
shall be the power output of the driving element When not directly connected, corrections shall be mede
for t h e losses b e t w e e n the driving element and the pump. In the case of flat belt and Vbelt drives, the
allowances for belt losses may be taken as 6 and 3 percent respectively.
1 3 . 1 0 Large Pump Test
13.10.1 On all p u m p s or bowl assemblies where the power is not in excess of75kW, t h e actual pump
shall be tested in t h e manufacturer's laboratory.
1 3 . 1 0 . 2 Ifthe powerexceeds 75 kW, it shall be permissible forthe manufacturerto test only the number
of stages of the unit which c o m e within the power requirements. If a test is made on a limited number
of stages, no increase m efficiency shall be allowed for an increased number of stages w h e n predicting the
final performance of t h e complete bowl assembly. The head and power shall be increased in direct p r o
portion to the number of stages in t h e final assembly, compared with the number of stages used in t h e
laboratory lest.
1 3 . 1 0 . 3 When t h e size of the bowl exceeds 400 mm outside diameter, a laboratory test on model pump,
h o m o l o g o u s with t h e actual unit, may be used as a basis for t h e determination of the performance of t h e
actual unit.
13.10.3.1 In general, when contract guarantees are to be based on mode) tests, the contract should
specify model performance rather than inferred actual unit performance. In the absence of this provision,
allowance for t h e scale effect, if any, shall be agreed upon in writing by t h e representatives of both parties
prior to finalization of order.
1 3 . 1 0 . 4 Test offail sizedpump at reduced speeds On all p u m p s or bowl assemblies (which have an
outside diameter exceeding 4 0 0 mm) which require more than 75 kW, it shall be permissible to test t h e
actual p u m p or bowl assembly at a speed tower than the specified speed. The reduced speed tests are in
general closely representative of tests at full speed. In tests at reduced speed, the relative power Joss in
bearing and stuffing box friction may be increased, an effect which may be appreciable in small pumps.
The hydraulic friction losses may be relatively increased when t h e Reynolds numberfor t h e water passages
is reduced, an effect which may be appreciable in small p u m p s of low specific speed. Therefore, these
factors shall be considered in determining an acceptable reduced test speed.
In order to maintain t h e hydraulic similarity, t h e similarity relations given rn 13.3.2 shall be used for
head a n d discharge to calculatethese quantities at the specified speed from the actual measured head and
discharge. The efficiency at the specified speed shall be calculated by using the relationship given b e l o w :
where
1 = efficiency at actual test speed,
B = efficiency at specified speed,
N B = specified speed,
N 2 = actual test speed, and
n = exponent established by test data, t h e value of t h e exponent is 0.17.
1 3 . 1 0 . 5 All large bowl assemblyfull s p e e dtests or model tests shall be conducted in a manner thatt h e
s u b m e r g e n c e would be that specified by the manufacturer.

select a p u m p in t h e usual manner. The viscous efficiency and t h e viscous brake horsepower may
then be calculated.

However, the procedure h a s sufficient accuracy for m o s t

is obtained. From this capacity, determine the capacities ( 0 . 6 QN), (0.8 QN) and ( 1 . 2 QN).
Enter t h e chart at t h e bottom with t h e capacity at best efficiency (1.0 QN), go upward to t h e
head developed in o n e stage (H w ) at this capacity then horizontally (either left or right) to t h e
desired viscosity, and then proceed upward to the various correction curves. Read t h e values
of K E a n d K C a n d of K H for all four capacities. Multiply e a c h head by its corresponding head
correction factor to obtain t h e corrected heads. Multiply each efficiency value by K E to obtain
t h e corrected efficiency values which apply at the corresponding corrected capacities.
c) Plot corrected head and corrected efficiency against corrected capacity, drawing smooth curves
through these points. The head at shut-off can be taken as approximately t h e s a m e as that for
water.
d) Calculate t h e viscous brake horsepower (bhp v i a ) from t h e formula given above.
e) Plot these points a n d draw a smooth curve through them which should be similar to an approximately parallel to t h e brake horsepower (bhp) curve for water.
Example:
Given t h e performance of a p u m p (Frg. 30) obtained by test on water, plot t h e performance of
this p u m p w h e n handling oil with a specific gravity of 0.90 and a viscosity of 2 1 0 cSt at pumping
temperature.
On t h e performance curve (Fig. 27) locate t h e best efficiency point which determines Q N . In
this case, it is 47 l/s. Tabulate capacity, head and efficiency for (0.6 7 5 0 ) , ( 0 . 8 750) a n d
(1.2 750).
Using 47 l/s, 30 metres head and 2 1 0 cSt, enter the chart and determine t h e correction factors.
These are tabulated in Sample Performance Chart. Multiply each value of head, capacity a n d
efficiency by its correction factor to get t h e corrected values. Using t h e corrected values and t h e
specific gravity, calculate brake horsepower
