Specifying Design When designing equipment for containment (vs. relief), design pressures shall be
Pressure based on the installed impeller. For preliminary estimates, the pump deadhead
pressure will be expected pump suction pressure plus a specified multiplier of the
rated total differential head (TDH). The specified multiplier is intended to estimate
the pump deadhead, provide limited turndown capability, and cover pump
manufacturing tolerances. In the event, the actual deadhead of the pump exceeds
the estimate, Shell will accept up to 16% overpressure.
