7. Design Criteria

A. Line Sizing Criteria:

Following are the allowable limits for line sizing to avoid erosion, or flashing of fluid.

Service Allowable Velocity ∆P / 100m

ATF Pump Piping = 3 m/s 0.8 bar / 100m

Gravity Upto 1 m/s

Vapor 15 m/s

Compressed Gases 20 m/s

B. Pump Sizing Criteria:

1. Max. Shut off head shall not exceed 125% of the Rated differential head.

2. Rated pump head at discharge flange.

NPSH:
The required value of NPSH is about 2 to 3m (5 to 10 ft) for small centrifugal pumps, but it is
increases with pump capacity, impeller speed and discharge pressure, and values up to 15 m (50ft)
are recommended for very large pumps.

NPSH = net positive suction head at reference point (usually center line of the impeller), m
Ha = absolute pressure of the suction vessel, m
Hvpa = fluid vapor pressure at pumping temperature, m
Hst = static head to suction reference line (usually center point of the impeller), m

Hfs = suction line losses, m

Pump Power:

Pump power will be calculated by:

P = power, kW

H = head, m

Q = flow, m3/hr

SG = specific gravity

n= pump efficiency, decimal

C. PIPING / VALVES / FLANGES

Piping: shall be designed for handling of ATF as per ASME B 31.6 or API 5L or equivalent as
applicable.

Valves:
Steel valves conforming to relevant API standards shall be used. Cast iron valves shall not be used.

Fittings:
Steel flanges and flanged fittings shall conform to relevant ANSI31.4.
