Large flow swit intensities increase the frictional losses which reduce the available net positive suction head (NPSH) ofthe pumps. The swirls can also cause pre-otation atthe impeller inlet. panicularly inthe ease of vertical turbine pumps where impellers very near tothe sump bottom, itmay lead ta shock fosses a the entry resulting inthe pump operating at off-duty point affecting the cavitation characteristics ‘of the pump. Site constraints also have significant effect onthe configuration. Proper pump intake design takes care of problems refered above, Though pump sump and intake are designed as per general guidelines actual design and measures forts smooth fonetioning are finalized through model studies. The compasition ofthe committee responsible for formulation of this standard is given in Annex A. For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with the fina valuc, ‘observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with 1S 2:1960 "Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised).

Generally ‘pump intake isin the form of bell mouth, suction bow! and coluran pipeline. The intake can be horizontal or vertical or inclined, In some eases, the intake is part of pump itself (see Fig. 1).
