 Pump Basics

April 9, 2020 COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL

 Definition of Energy Machines

• Pumps can be formed into two distinct machine categories:

− Kinetic energy machines
− Positive displacement machines

• Centrifugal pumps are Kinetic energy machines

• Reciprocating pumps are positive displacement machines

COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL April 9, 2020 4

 Fundamental Differences

Kinetic Pumps
• Generate head/pressure which is converted into velocity
(Bernoulli’s law)
• Velocity of a fluid in a pipe results in Flow Rate

Positive Displacement Pumps

• Generate increments of fluid volume per time unit that are pushed out
of the pump
• The number of volume increments per time unit is Flow Rate

power from an electric motor, engine, or
turbine into reciprocating motion and work

DEFINITIONS, GENERAL FEATURES, DIFFERENTIATION

 What is API 675?

• API stands for American Petroleum Institute

• API 675 is a widely used industrial standard for metering pumps.

• Mainly used in Petroleum, Chemical Processing, and Oil & Gas

Industry.

• Describes and specifies constructional design, qualification

criteria, and how pumps and documentation shall be executed.

• B+L NOVADOS pumps fulfill or exceed the requirements

 What is a Metering Pump?

Definition (in accordance with API 675)

A metering pump is a reciprocating pump in which

precise volume control is provided by varying effective
stroke length.

Such pumps are also known as proportioning, chemical

injection, dosing, or controlled volume pump.

> Theory is simple

> Differential pressure is virtually not limited

> Pumping principle works for almost all fluids

Drawback:
All-rounder can never be most economic in all cases!

COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL April 9, 2020 28

 When do I use a Metering Pump?

> Customer specifies metering pump

> When other pumping principles fail or are not

economic e.g. centrifugal pump, gear pump are not
precise unless combined with a flow meter

Mainly for

> Combination of small flow rates and low pressure

> High differential pressures

 Factors qualifying a Metering Pump
Accuracy
Steady state accuracy is the flow variation expressed as a percentage of mean
delivered flow under fixed-system conditions. Steady rate accuracy applies over the
turndown ratio.

 Factors qualifying a Metering Pump
Flow Repeatability
Flow Repeatability, expressed as a percent of rated capacity, describes the
reproducibility of pump flow rate under a given set of conditions when capacity
setting is varied and then returned to the set point being tested.

 Factors qualifying a Metering Pump
Linearity
Linearity is the relationship between the actual volume of liquid discharged at a given capacity
setting and a best fit straight line drawn through the plotted points of volume and capacity
setting determined during calibration tests of a pump. The deviation from this line is expressed
as percent of the rated capacity of the pump.

 Factors Qualifying a Metering Pump

Turndown Ratio
Turndown ratio is the rated capacity divided by the minimum capacity that
can be obtained while maintaining specified steady state accuracy and
linearity.

Example:

Rated Capacity: 120 l/h

Minimum Capacity: 12 l/h

Turndown Ratio: 10
