Presión diferencial máxima

Maximum differential pressure is the maximum allowable difference between the discharge pressure and the inlet pressure for a given set of operating conditions.

Differential pressure is a function of the system and must be calculated or measured. Measurements can be made at the gauge ports near the inlet and outlet ports of the pump.

Differential Pressure = (Outlet Pressure) – (Inlet Pressure)

The maximum differential pressure is provided by Viking Pump’s Pump Selector program or Catalog Performance Curves – but may be increased or decreased depending on the application specifics, pump size, and construction. This may be less than or equal to the full bypass pressure of the relief valve.

Knowing the maximum differential pressure is important so that the pump is operated safely. Exceeding this value can lead to damaging the pump or system.
