| Step 1:
Process Data Inputs |
| 1.1 |
Pump Name |
| 1.2 |
Pump Number |
| 1.3 |
Fluid (eg butane) |
| 1.4 |
Pumping Temperature (F) |
| 1.5 |
Barometric Pressure, in psia |
| 1.6 |
Pressure on the surface of the liquid in a closed suction tank, in psig
(Use zero (0) psig for sumps and ATMS. tanks ) |
| 1.7 |
Vapor Pressure at the maximum pumping temperature, in psia |
| 1.8 |
Fluid's Specific Gravity |
| 1.9 |
Elevation head in feet |
| 1.10 |
Friction loss in feet in the suction pipe at the required capacity
(Use positive value for flooded suction, use negative value for lifting suction) |
| 1.11 |
Required NPSH margin in feet |
