In the world of fluid handling, a pump is only as good as the water it receives. If the intake design is flawed, even the most expensive rotodynamic pump will suffer from efficiency loss, vibration, and premature mechanical failure. The industry gold standard for addressing these challenges is ANSI/HI 9.8 (Rotodynamic Pumps for Pump Intake Design) Even experienced engineers miss these HI 9
In the world of fluid handling, the pump is often considered the heart of the system. However, even the most efficiently engineered heart will fail if the veins leading to it are clogged or turbulent. For rotodynamic pumps (centrifugal, mixed flow, and axial flow), the intake structure—the sump, wet well, or suction piping—is that critical vascular system. The industry gold standard for addressing these challenges
: Applicable to vertical turbine pumps (can-type), barrel pumps, and suction tanks.
