Specifying Design When designing equipment for containment (vs. relief), design pressures shall be based on
Pressure 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.
