Maximum flow vs lifting height
Hydraulic curves are given for a suction height of 1 meter. If
suction lift is higher than 1 meter then the maximum pump flow
will be limited as follows :
‐ ¾ of max flow if suction height is 3 m under suction flange level.
‐ ½ of max flow if suction height is 6 m under suction flange level.
See sketch below :

Maximum allowable speed and number of starts
per hour
Maximum speed :
The maximum speeds are indicated in the table below. Maximum
allowable speed depends on critical speed of each impeller size and on
bearing bracket maximum allowable speed.

Number of starts per hour :
Wait for pump full stop before starting up the pump again to avoid
damaging the motor and the pump.
Starting frequency depends on motor type. Ask manufacturer if
necessary.
A maximum of 6 starts per hour is recommended.

TYPE OF HANDLED FLUIDS
The pump is used to handle clear or laden liquids with a maximum
viscosity of 500 cSt (mm²/s). For viscosity higher than 50cSt, the
discharge pressure, the flow and the hydraulic efficiency must be re‐
calculated.
The solids content in the liquid should be limited to 80g/l with no
long fibers content. Dryness max = 8%.
Free passage depends on pump size:
