13. Typical Performance Curve Excellence by Design
Average values for pumps in standard
materials.
Capacity in cubic feet per minute at
68°F (20°C) using 60°F (15°C)
Water as a service liquid.
Vacuum in inches Hg.
Barometric pressure at sea level
29.92" Hg. abs. (760 Torr)
Performance data per HEI standards;
subject to SIHI standard tolerances.

14. Service Liquid Temperature Excellence by Design
• 60OF seal water at a specified flow rate
• Any variation off published “standard” must be
accounted for in the pump selection
• Variation off selection/design standard can affect
pump performance
• The higher the vacuum level, the greater impact
seal water temperature has on performance
We Like Cool Water !!
