Example 3-16 Pump Performance Correction For Viscous Liquid 

When the required capacity and head are specified for a viscous liquid, the equivalent capacity when pumping 

Applied Process Design for Chemical and Petrochemical Plants PERFORMANCE CORRECTION CHART 

Determine proper pump selection and specifications when pumping oil with SpGr of 0.9 and viscosity of 25 cen-tipoise at the pumping temperature, if the pump must deliver 125 GPM at 86 feet total head (calculated using the viscous liquid).
