Centrifugal pumps suction pressure limits

The single most common operational problem in a process plant is loss of suction pressure to a centrifugal pump. If the suction pressure is too low, the discharge pressure and the discharge flow become erratically low. The suction pressure, while low, remains comparatively steady. [Pg.473]

Peripheral pumps are particularly useful for pumping low-flow-rate, low-viscosity liquids at high pressures than are normally available with centrifugal pumps. Close clearances limit their use to clean liquids. Also, because of the close clearances between the impeller and casing, a peripheral pump has excellent suction lift-up to 8.5 m(128 ft) of head.
