Centrifugal Pump Viscosity Limit at Poppy Gaby blog

Centrifugal Pump Viscosity Limit. We will look at three types of pumps specifically:. An engineer can use the correction factors to adjust the pump performance curve from the values obtained using water to a predicted curve for how the pump will perform with the viscous fluid. Generally speaking, centrifugal pumps are extremely inefficient conveyors of liquids when fluid viscosity exceeds 1,400 centistokes. Centrifugal pump published performance curves are based on water and so when moving viscous fluids the performance must be corrected. Several references limit centrifugal pumps to a maximum of 3,000 centistokes. Gravity viscosity at 20°c/68°f and 50°c/122°f for more than 120 crudes is shown as function of specific gravity@15°c/60°f. Depending on the pump type, the impact of liquid viscosity is different. (note that this limit is. In this paper, centrifugal pump performances are tested by using water and viscous oil as working fluids whose kinematic. My short answer is that “it depends.” a better and less flippant answer is to consider the reduction in pump efficiency (also head and flow) and calculate the maximum required and corrected horsepower (hp) for the viscous fluid.
