Pump Intake Design - Ansi Hi 9.8 Rotodynamic Pumps For

In the world of fluid handling, the pump is often considered the heart of the system. However, even the most efficiently engineered heart will fail if the veins leading to it are clogged or turbulent. For rotodynamic pumps (centrifugal, mixed flow, and axial flow), the intake structure—the sump, wet well, or suction piping—is that critical vascular system.

ANSI/HI 9.8 defines specific geometries for several common intake types. Adhering to these "standard" designs often eliminates the need for expensive physical testing. ANSI/HI 9.8-2018 - Rotodynamic Pumps for Pump Intake Design In the world of fluid handling, the pump
