How to calculate maximum allowable inlet pressure?
Maximum allowable inlet pressure can be established as the lowest pressure limit of the following 3 components:
1) Shaft Seal
2) Joint Seals
3) Port Connections
Why is knowing maximum allowable inlet pressure important?
Knowing the maximum allowable inlet pressure is important so that the pump is operated safely. Exceeding the MASP can lead to damaging the pump or system.
