For this point, it is important to note that any object made from an elastic material (and metal is an elastic material) has a natural period of vibration. This happens because the pump rotating assembly is not absolutely uniform around the center line of the shaft. So it is common that getting variations in the density of the materials as well as manufacturing tolerances and casting irregularities contributing to the problem. This eccentricity produces deflection when the rotating assembly rotates at the speed the centrifugal force exceeds the elastic restoring forces. At this speed the assembly will vibrate as if it were unbalanced, and could fail the seal, bearings or fatigue the shaft itself. The lowest speed at which this happens is called the first critical speed.

If you double the speed of centrifugal pump?

Centrifugal pumps generally obey what are known as the pump laws. These laws state that the flow rate or capacity is directly proportional to the pump speed; the discharge head is directly proportional to the square of the pump speed; and the power required by the pump motor is directly proportional to the cube of the pump speed.


How do you open centrifugal pump?

its having high speed electrical motor.with joint of centrifugal casing . so first of all open this centrifugal casing by spaners. then do disassembly


What is critical speed of a SAG mill?

The critical speed of a SAG mill is the speed in RPM's at which centrifugal force causes the material being ground to be held against the inside of the shell. This speed is only dependent on the diameter of the mill.


What different between centrifugal pumps and multi pumps?

A centrifugal pump works by using centrifugal force. A multi pump is short for a multistage centrifugal pump with two or more impellers.


What are characteristics of centrifugal pump?

centrifugal pump is that machine which converts the mechanical energy into pressure energy . 1. it produces th pressure energy by applying the centrifugal force. 2. flow in it is radial outward direction. 3.the pressure head at the outlet is more than the at inlet, so fluid can be lifted to very high .level 4.in case of centrifugal pump, discharge is proportional to speed in r.p.m power is proportional to ( speed in r.p.m)^3 head is proportional to ( speed in r. p.m)^2 5. it is subjected to cavitation.


Is turbine pump is a centrifugal pump?

yes that is centrifugal pump because the turbine pump creates a vacuum pressure on pipe.

What is volute centrifual pump?

The volute of a centrifugal pump is the tank that holds the liquid being pumped. The centrifugal pump is a type of pump that uses a swirling motion to pump liquid.


Why do you start the centrifugal pump with the discharge valve shut?

centrifugal pump should be fill with liquid to built discharge pressur.chemist.yasser.Naguib


If the outlet valve for both centrifugal and reciprocating pump is closed which pump is damage first and why?

The reciprocating pump is damaged first. The closed outlet has no bad affect to the centrifugal pump.


What is the difference between volute centrifugal pump and turbine centrifugal pump?

voloute convord the pressure into volicity and the mixtur of propallere and impeller is called turbine pump


Why the centrifugal pump is called high discharge pump?

for a simple reason because it has high discharge than any other available pump. the centrifugal pump uses the centrifugal force to push out the fluid centrifugal force = (mass *velocity2)/radius. hence centrifugal force is directly proportional to the square of the velocity, in this case being the velocity of the fluid. power provided to pump proportional to the force exerted by the impeller.hence higher the power results in higher centrifugal force implying square of the velocity of the fluid. higher the velocity of the fluid higher the discharge of the pump.
