Suction-lift curves are calibrated for
pumps operating at 305 m (1,000')
above sea level. This chart is meant
to be a guide only. There are many
variables that can affect your
pump's operating characteristics.
The number of intake and discharge
elbows, viscosity of pumping fluid,
elevation (atmospheric pressure)
and pipe friction loss all affect the
amount of suction-lift your pump
will attain.
