PUMP HANDBOOK
PUMP HANDBOOK
Foreword
Todays processes place heavy demand on pumps when it comes to optimum operation,
high reliability and low energy consumption. Therefore, we have developed the
Grundfos Pump Handbook which, in a simple manner, deals with various considerations
when sizing pumps and pump systems.
This handbook, developed for engineers and technicians who work with design and the
installation of pumps and pump systems, includes answers to a wide range of technical
questions. The handbook can either be read from cover-to-cover or in part on specific
topics.
The handbook is divided into five chapters which deal with different phases when
designing pump systems.
Chapter 1 includes a general presentation of different pump types and components.
Also described are precautions to consider when dealing with viscous liquids. Further,
the most used materials, as well as different types of corrosion, are presented. Terminologies in connection with reading pump performance are presented in Chapter 2.
Chapter 3 deals with system hydraulics and some of the most important factors to
consider for optimum operation of the pump system. Pump performance adjustment
methods are discussed in Chapter 4. Chapter 5 describes life cycle costs, as energy consumption plays an important role in todays pumps and pump systems.
We sincerely hope that you will find this handbook useful in your daily work.

Magnetic-driven pumps
In recent years, magnetic-driven pumps have become
increasingly popular for transferring aggressive and
toxic liquids.
As shown in figure 1.2.8, the magnetic-driven pump is
made of two groups of magnets: An inner magnet and
an outer magnet. A non-magnetic can separate these
two magnets. The can serves as a hermetically sealed
barrier between the liquid and the atmosphere. As
it appears from figure 1.2.9, the outer magnet is
connected to the pump drive and the inner magnet
is connected to the pump shaft. The torque from
the pump drive is transmitted to the pump shaft by
means of attraction between the inner and outer
magnets. The pumped liquid serves as lubricant
for the bearings in the pump. Therefore, sufficient
venting is crucial for the bearings.

Rotary pumps
Reciprocating pumps
The difference in performance between centrifugal,
rotary and reciprocating pumps is illustrated in figure
1.2.19. Depending on the pump type, a small change
in the pumps back pressure results in differences in
the flow.
The flow of a centrifugal pump will change
considerably with back pressure. Changing back
pressure on rotary pumps will result in a minimal flow
change. However, the flow of the reciprocating pump
is almost constant with the back pressure change.
The performance difference between reciprocating
pumps and rotary pumps is due to the rotary pumps
larger seal surface area. Even though the two pumps
are designed with the same tolerances, the loss due

Metering pumps
The metering pump belongs to the positive displacement
pump family and is typically of the diaphragm type.
Diaphragm pumps are leak-free, because the diaphragm
forms a seal between the liquid and the surroundings.

Temperature (oF)
The main types of mechanical shaft seals include: Oring, bellows, cartridge single-unit seal.
Advantages and
disadvantages of
O-ring seal
O-ring seals
Sealing between the rotating shaft and the rotating seal
face is affected by an O-rings movement (see figure
1.3.9). The O-ring must be able to slide freely in the axial
direction to absorb axial displacements as a result of
changes in temperature and wear. Incorrect positioning
of the stationary seat may result in rubbing, which can
cause wear on the O-ring and shaft. O-rings are made of
different types of rubber material, such as NBR, EPDM,
Buna -N and FKM, depending on operating conditions.
176
Advantages:
Suitable in hot liquid and
high pressure applications
Disadvantages:
Deposits on the shaft,
such as rust, may prevent
the O-ring shaft
seal from moving axially
causing leakage and
premature failure
Fig. 1.3.9: O-ring seal
Bellows seals
Common to bellows seals is a rubber or metal bellows
which functions as a dynamic sealing element
between the rotating ring and the shaft.

such as rust, on the shaft

Cartridge seals
In a cartridge mechanical shaft seal, all parts form
a compact unit on a shaft sleeve and are ready to
be installed. A cartridge seal offers many benefits
compared to conventional mechanical shaft seals, see
figure 1.3.12.
Advantages of the
cartridge seal:
Easy and fast service
The design protects the
seal faces
Preloaded spring
Safe handling
Flushing
In certain applications it is possible to extend the
performance of the mechanical shaft seal by installing
a flushing device, see figure 1.3.13. Flushing can lower
the temperature of the mechanical shaft seal and
prevent deposits from occurring. A flushing device
can be installed internally or externally. Internal
flushing is done when a small flow from the pumps
discharge side is bypassed to the seal area. Internal
flushing is primarily used to prevent further heat
generation from the seal in heating applications.
External flushing is done by a flushing liquid and is
used to ensure trouble-free operation when handling
liquids that are abrasive or contain clogging solids.

Noise
The choice of seal face materials is critical for the
function and the life of the mechanical shaft seal.
Noise is generated as a result of the poor lubricating
conditions in seals handling low viscosity liquids. The
viscosity of water decreases with increasing temperature.
This means that the lubricating conditions decrease as
the temperature rises. If the pumped liquid reaches or
exceeds boiling temperature, the liquid on part of the
seal face evaporates resulting in decreased lubricating
conditions. A speed reduction has the same effect, see
figure 1.3.20.

Temperature
Hot surfaces can ignite explosive atmospheres. To prevent
this from happening, all electrical equipment intended
for use in a potentially explosive atmosphere is classified
according to the maximum surface temperature it will
reach while in service. This maximum temperature is
normally based on a surrounding ambient temperature of
104 F (40 C). This temperature can then be compared to
the ignition temperature of the gas(es) which may come
into contact with the equipment and a judgement can be
reached as to the suitabillity of the equipment to be used
in that area, see figure 1.4.6.
TEFC-Totally Enclosed
External fan pulls air in through fan cover and blows it over
the exterior (only) surface of the motor. More resistant to
the liquid and particles.
Washdown - Totally Enclosed Spray Proof
Corrosion-resistant. There can be a HP limit for rolled
steel frame motors. Cast Iron finned motors do not meet
FDA requirements.

of a specified dust, gas or vapor according to explosive
environment standards.

up the frame size are measured on the motor.
Flanges and shaft end comply with NEMA standards
or EN 50347 and IEC 60072-1 for IEC. Some pumps
have a coupling which requires a smooth motor shaft

Autotransformer starting
Star/delta starting
The objective of this starting method, which is used
with three-phase induction motors, is to reduce
the starting current. Current supply to the starter
windings is connected in star (Y) configuration
for starting. Current supply is reconnected to the
windings in delta () configuration once the motor
has gained speed.

Soft starter
A soft starter is a device which ensures a soft start of
a motor. This is done by raising the voltage within a

Motor efficiency
In general, electric motors are quite efficient. Some
have electricity-to-shaft power efficiencies of 8093% depending on the motor size and sometimes
even higher for bigger motors. There are two types of
energy losses in electric motors: Load-dependent and
load-independent losses.
Load-dependent losses vary with the square of the

Thermal protection
A motors thermal protection (TP) is provided by a
temperature-sensing device that is built in to the
motor. When motor temperature becomes excessively
hot due to failure-to-start or overloading, the sensor
device shuts off the motor. This is especially important
for motors that start automatically, are unattended,
or for motors that are located remotely or operated
off-sight.
The basic types of temperature sensing devices include:
Automatic Reset - The thermal protector
automatically restores power after the motor cools.
Note: This should not be used where unexpected
restarting would be hazardous.

Bearings
There are several types of bearing designs. Normally,
motors have a locked bearing in the drive end and
a bearing with axial play in the non-drive end. Axial

What is corrosion?

Section 1.6
Materials
Rust on steel
60
Uniform corrosion
Uniform or general corrosion is characterized by
corrosive attacks spreading evenly over the entire
surface or on a large part of the total area. General
thinning continues until the metal is broken down.
Uniform corrosion results in waste of most of the
metal.
Pitting corrosion
Pitting corrosion is a localized form of a corrosive
attack. Pitting corrosion forms holes or pits on the
metal surface. It perforates the metal while the total
corrosion, measured by weight loss, might be rather
minimal. The rate of penetration may be 10 to 100
times that of general corrosion depending on the
aggressiveness of the medium. Pitting occurs more
often in a stagnant environment.

Crevice corrosion
Crevice corrosion, like pitting corrosion, is a localized
form of corrosion attack. However, crevice corrosion
is more aggressive. Crevice corrosion occurs at narrow
openings or spaces between two metal surfaces
or between metals and non-metal surfaces and
is usually associated with a stagnant condition in
the crevice. Crevices, such as those found at flange
joints or at threaded connections, are often the most
critical spots for corrosion.
Intergranular corrosion
Intergranular corrosion occurs at grain boundaries.
Intergranular corrosion, also called intercrystalline
corrosion, typically occurs when chromium carbide
precipitates at the grain boundaries during the
welding process or in connection with insufficient
heat treatment. A narrow region around the grain
boundary may become deplete in chromium and
become less resistant to corrosion than the rest of
the material. This is unfortunate because chromium
plays an important role in corrosion resistance.
Selective corrosion
Brass
62
Erosion corrosion
Erosion corrosion is a process whereby the rate of
corrosion attack is accelerated by the relative motion
of a corrosive liquid and a metal surface. The attack
is localized in areas with high velocity or turbulent
flow. Erosion corrosion attacks are characterized by
grooves with a directional pattern.
Examples of metals subject to erosion corrosion:
Bronze in seawater
Copper in water
Flow
Cavitation corrosion
Cavitation corrosion occurs when a pumped liquid
with high velocity reduces the pressure, and it drops
below the liquid vapor pressure forming vapor
bubbles. In the areas where the vapor bubbles form,
the liquid boils. When the pressure rises again,
the vapor bubbles collapse and produce intensive
shockwaves. Consequently, the collapse of the vapor
bubbles remove metal or oxide from the surface.
Examples of metals that are subject to cavitation:
Cast iron in water at high temperature
Bronze in seawater

Corrosion fatigue
Pure mechanical fatigue occurs when a material
subjected to a cyclic load far below the ultimate
tensile strength fails. If the metal is simultaneously
exposed to a corrosive environment, the failure
can take place at an even lower stress and after a
shorter period of time. Contrary to a pure mechanical
fatigue, there is no fatigue limit in corrosion-assisted
fatigue.
Galvanic corrosion
Galvanic corrosion occurs when a corrosive electrolyte
and two metallic materials are in contact (galvanic
cell) and corrosion increases on the least noble
material (the anode) and decreases on the noblest
material (the cathode). The tendency of a metal or
an alloy to corrode in a galvanic cell is determined by
its position in the galvanic series. The galvanic series
indicates the relative nobility of different metals
and alloys in a given environment (e.g. seawater,
see figure 1.6.13).The farther apart the metals are
in the galvanic series, the greater the galvanic
corrosion effect will be. Metals or alloys at the upper
end are more noble than those at the lower end.
Aluminium

Ferrous alloys
Steel
Steel is a widely used material primarily composed
of iron alloyed with carbon. The amount of carbon
in steel varies in the range from 0.003% to 1.5% by
weight. The content of carbon has an important
impact on the materials strength, weldability,
machinability, ductility, and hardness. Generally, an
increase in carbon content will lead to an increase in
strength and hardness but to a decrease in ductility
and weldability. The most common type of steel
is carbon steel. Carbon steel is grouped into four
categories, see figure 1.6.14.

Cast iron
Grey iron
In grey iron, the graphite is dispersed throughout a
ferrite or pearlite matrix in the form of flakes. Fracture
surfaces take on a grey appearance (hence the name).
The graphite flakes act as stress concentrators under
tensile loads making the material weak and brittle
in tension, but strong and ductile in compression.
Grey iron is used for the construction of motor blocks
because of its high vibration damping ability. Grey iron
is an inexpensive material and is relatively easy to cast
with a minimal risk of shrinkage. That is why grey iron
is often used for pump parts with moderate strength
requirements.
Stainless steel
Stainless steel is composed of chromium containing steel
alloys. The minimum chromium content in standardized
stainless steel is 10.5%. Chromium improves the corrosion
resistance of stainless steel. This is due to a chromium
oxide film that is formed on the metal surface. This
extremely thin layer is self-repairing under the right
conditions. Molybdenum, nickel and nitrogen are other
examples of typical alloying elements. Alloying with
these elements brings out different crystal structures
which enable different properties in connection with
machining, forming, welding and corrosion resistance.
In general, stainless steel has a higher resistance to
chemicals (i.e. acids) than steel and cast iron.

Nitrile rubber
At temperatures up to about 212F, nitrile rubber
(NBR) is an inexpensive material that has a high
resistance to oil and fuel. Different grades of nitrile
rubber exist - the higher the acetonitrile (ACN)
content, the higher the oil resistance but the poorer
the low-temperature flexibility. Nitrile rubbers have
high resilience and high-wear resistance but only
moderate strength. Further, this rubber has limited
weathering resistance and poor solvent resistance.
It can generally be used at about -22F, but certain
grades can operate at lower temperatures.

Silicone rubber
Silicone rubbers (Q) have outstanding properties,
such as low compression set in a wide range of
temperatures (from -76F to 392F in air), excellent
electrical insulation and non-toxic. Silicone rubbers
are resistant to water, some acids and oxidizing
chemicals. Concentrated acids, alkalines and
solvents should not be used with silicone rubbers.
In general, these rubber types have poor oil and
fuel resistance. However, the FMQ silicone rubber
resistance to oil and fuel is better than that of types
MQ, VMQ, and PMQ.
Perfluoroelastomers
1.6.7 Coatings
Protective coatings such as metallic, non-metallic
(inorganic) or organic coatings, are a common
method of corrosion control. The main function of
coatings, aside from galvanic coatings such as zinc,
is to provide a barrier between the metal substrate
and its environment. They allow for the use of
normal steel or aluminum instead of more expensive
materials. In the following section, the possibilities of
preventing corrosion by means of different coatings
will be examined.
Metallic coatings
There are two types of metallic coatings. One is
where the coating is less noble than the substrate,
and the other, electroplating, is where a more noble
metal is applied to the substrate as a barrier layer.

Non-metallic coatings
(conversion coatings)
Conversion coatings are included in non-metallic
coatings, also known as inorganic coatings. Conversion
coatings are formed by a controlled corrosion reaction
of the substrate in an oxidized solution. Examples of
conversion coatings are anodizing or chromating
of aluminum and phosphate treatment of steel.
Anodizing is mainly used for surface protection of
aluminum, while chromating and phosphating are
usually used for pre-treatment to improve paint
adhesion and to help prevent the spreading of rust
under layers of paint.
Paints
As mentioned, paints are an important class of
organic coating. Figure 1.6.25 shows several types of
organic coatings. A typical paint formulation contains
polymeric binders, solvents, pigments and additives.
For environmental reasons, organic solvents are
often replaced by water or simply eliminated, as in
powder coating. Painted metal structures usually
involve two or more layers of coating applied on a
primary coating, which is in direct contact with the
metal.
Organic coatings
Organic coatings contain organic compounds and are
available in a wide range of different types. Organic
coatings are applied to the metal by methods of
spraying, dipping, brushing, lining or electro-coating
(paint applied by means of electric current). They may
or may not require heat-curing. Both thermoplastic
coatings (i.e. polyamide, polypropylene, polyethylene,
PVDF and PTFE) and elastomer coatings are applied
to metal substrates to combine the mechanical
properties of metal with the chemical resistance of
plastics, but paints are by far the most widely used
organic coating.

Flow
Flow is the amount of liquid that passes through
a pump within a certain period of time. Volume
flow and mass flow are the two flow parameters
considered for a performance reading.
Q
Qm = . Q ; Q = m
Volume flow
Volume flow (Q) is read from a pump curve - or, put
in another way, a pump can move a given volume
per unit of time, measured in gallons per minute, no
matter the density of the liquid. For water supply,
for example, volume flow is the most important
parameter because a certain volume of water is
needed for drinking or irrigation. Throughout this
book the term flow refers to volume flow.

Mass flow
Mass flow (Qm) is the mass which a pump moves per
unit of time and is measured in pounds per second. The
liquid temperature has an influence on how big a mass
flow can move per unit of time since the liquid density
changes with the temperature. In heating, cooling and
air-conditioning systems, the mass flow is essential to
identify because the mass is the carrier of energy (see
section on Heat Capacity).

example, if the velocity of a water flow is 14.7 ft/s,
the dynamic pressure is around 1.45 psi, which is

Differential pressure
The differential pressure (p) is the pressure difference
between the pressures measured at two points, that is,
the pressure drops across valves in a system. Differential
pressure is measured in the same units as pressure.

System pressure
The system pressure is the static pressure, which refers
to when the pumps are not running. System pressure
is important to consider when dealing with a closed
system. The system pressure, measured in feet in the
lowest point, must always be higher than the height
of the system to ensure that the system is filled with
liquid and can be vented properly.

Power consumption
Pumps are made of several components, see figure
2.2.16. The power consumption (P) of the different
components is designated as follows:
P1 The power input from the mains, or the amount
of power the consumer must purchase.
P2 The power input to the pump, or the power
output from the motor, often referred to as
shaft power or brake horsepower (Bhp).

Voltage
Like pressure drives flow through a hydraulic system,
voltage (v) drives a current (I) through an electrical
circuit. Voltage is measured in volts (V) and can be
direct current (DC), e.g. 1.5 V battery or alternating
current (AC), e.g. electricity supply for houses, etc.
Normally, pumps are supplied with AC voltage
supply.

Current (I) is the flow of electricity and is measured

Liquid temperature
The liquid temperature (t,T) is measured in F
(Fahrenheit), C (Celcius), or K (Kelvin). Temperature
units of C and K are actually the same, but 0C is the
freezing point of water and 0K is the absolute zero;
that is -273.15C, the lowest possible temperature. The
calculation between Fahrenheit and Celcius is F = C .
1.8 + 32. Hence, the freezing point of water is 0C and
32F, and the boiling point is 100C and 212F.

Section 3.1
System characteristics
Closed systems
A closed system is a circulating system like heating
or air-conditioning systems, where the pump has
to overcome the friction losses in the pipes, fittings,
valves, etc. in the system.
Open systems
An open system is a liquid transport system like a
water supply system where the pump must address
the static head as well as overcome the friction losses
in the pipes and components.
When the system characteristic is drawn in the same
system of co-ordinates as the pump curve, the duty
point of the pump can be determined as the point of
intersection of the two curves, see figure 3.1.1.
Open and closed systems consist of resistances
(valves, pipes, heat exchanger, etc.) connected in
series or parallel, which altogether affect the system
characteristic. Following is a discussion on how these
resistances affect the system characteristic.
96
Fig. 3.1.1: The point of intersection between the pump curve and
the system characteristic is the duty point of the pump
H = k . Q2
k is a constant, which depends on the component in
question, and Q is the flow through the component.
As it appears from the formula, the head loss is
proportional to the flow to the second power. So, if it
is possible to lower the flow in a system, a substantial
reduction in the pressure loss occurs.
Fig. 3.1.2: The head loss for two components connected in series
is the sum of the two individual head losses
Htot = H1 + H2
Figure 3.1.2 shows how the resulting curve will look
and what the duty point will be if the system is a
closed system with only these two components. As it
appears from the figure, the resulting characteristic
is found by adding the individual head losses, H,
at a given flow Q. The figure shows that the more
resistance in the system, the steeper the resulting
system curve will be.
97
Section 3.1
System characteristics
Q tot = Q 1 + Q2
Closed systems
Typically, closed systems are systems which transport
heat energy in heating systems, air-conditioning
systems and process cooling systems. A common
feature of these closed systems is that the liquid
is circulated and is the carrier of heat energy. Heat
energy is what the system must transport.
Closed systems are characterized as systems with
pumps that overcome the sum of friction losses
which are generated by all the components. Figure
3.1.4 shows a schematic drawing of a closed system
where a pump circulates water from a heater through
a control valve to a heat exchanger.
98
H = k . Q2
As the formula and curve indicate, the pressure loss is
approaching zero when the flow drops.
Open systems
Open systems use the pump to transport liquid from
one point to another, e.g. water supply irrigation
and industrial process systems. In these systems, the
pump deals with the static head of the liquid and
must overcome the friction losses in the pipes and
the system components.
There are two types of open systems:
Open systems where the total required static head
is positive.
Open systems where the total required static head
is negative.

Section 4.1
Adjusting pump performance
Throttle control
The power consumption is reduced to about 94%
when the flow drops from 264 to 220 GPM. The
throttling results in an increased head, see figure
4.1.10. The maximum power consumption for some
pumps is at a lower flow than the maximum flow.
If this is the case, the power consumption increases
because of the throttle.

Bypass control
To reduce the flow in the system, the valve has to
reduce the head of the pump to 180 ft. This can only
be done by increasing the flow in the pump. As it
appears from figure 4.1.11, the flow is consequently
increased to 356 GPM, which results in an increased
power consumption of up to 10% above original
consumption. The degree of increase depends on the
pump type and the duty point. Therefore, in some
cases, the increase in P2 is equal to zero and in rare
cases, P2 might decrease slightly.

Advantages of speed control
Environment protection
Energy-efficient pumps cause less pollution and
harm to the environment.
Increased comfort
Speed control in different pumping systems provides
increased comfort in water supply systems, automatic
pressure control, and where the soft-start of pumps
reduce water hammer and noise generated by too
high pressure in the system. In circulating systems,
speed-controlled pumps ensure that the differential
pressure is kept at a level so that noise in the system
is minimized.

Easy to install
Pumps with integrated frequency converters are just
as easy to install as fixed-speed pumps. The motor
is connected to the electrical power supply, and the
pump is in operation. The manufacturer has made all
internal connections and adjustments.

One supplier can provide the pump, frequency
converter and sensor which naturally facilitate the
sizing, selection, and ordering procedures, as well as
maintenance and service procedures.

The inverter
The output voltage from a frequency converter is not
sinusoidal like the normal mains voltage. The voltage
supplied to the motor consists of a number of squarewave pulses, see figure 4.5.3. The mean value of these
pulses forms a sinusoidal voltage of the desired
frequency and amplitude. The switching frequency
can range from a few kHz up to 20 kHz, depending
on the brand. To avoid noise in the motor windings,
a frequency converter with a switching frequency
above the range of audibility (~16 kHz) is preferable.
This principle of inverter operation is called Pulse
Width Modulation control (PWM), and it is the control
principle most often used in frequency converters
today. The motor current itself is almost sinusoidal.
This is shown in figure 4.5.4a, indicating motor
current (top) and motor voltage. In figure 4.5.4b, a
section of the motor voltage is shown, indicating
how the pulse/pause ratio of the voltage changes.

Orifice
Nipple orifices are typically used in boiler feed
applications when boiler feed pumps need to discharge
built-up pressure. These boiler feed pumps operate
continuosly in order to provide on-demand hot water;
but when no hot water is needed, the valve to the boiler
is closed and the pump ends up operating under a
harmful shut-off condition during extended periods of
time in which there will be a rise in liquid temperature
in the pump because the input horsepower being
converted to heat in the pump is not dissipated. For that
reason, in order to increase the run life of the pump and
control the temperature rise, the system is designed to
allow the feed pump to discharge its build-up pressure
through a bypass line in which a nipple orifice is
installed. The orifice dissipates the high pressure and

Note:
1. Table based on Darcy-Weisback formula; with no allowance for age, differences in diameter, or any other
abnormal condition of interior surface. Any Factor of Safety must be estimated from the local conditions and
the requirements of each particular installation. For general purposes, 15% is a reasonable Factor of Safety.
2. The friction loss data is based on seamless Sch. 40 steel pipe. Cast iron (CI) pipe has a slightly larger ID than
steel pipe in the 3 to 12 dia. range, which generally makes no practical difference with respect to water
supply pumping problems.
3. Ductile Iron (DI) has a larger ID than both Sch. 40 steel and CI pipes for the same nominal diameter. Friction
Losses in DI pipe can be approximated by multiplying the tabulated value by .75 in the 4 to 12 size range
and .60 for 14 and larger sizes.
4. Velocity head values are not included in the table, as they are normally not considered as a component of
Total Head (TH) calculations to solve water supply pumping problem. Velocity and Velocity head can be
calculated using the following formulas:
Vel. (fps) = gpm (.410)/(ID) 2 = gpm (.321)/Area (in. 2); where: Area (in 2) = (ID) 2/4
Vel. Head (ft.) = (Vel.) 2 /2g = (Vel.) 2/64.4
5. Velocity within column (vertical drop/riser pipe) should be kept within the range of 4 - 15 fps (5.0 fps is optimum).
Velocity within horizontal distribution piping should be kept within the range of 1 - 6 fps (3.0 fps is optimum).
6. Tabulated friction loss values are calculated based on water at 60F and a kinematic viscosity = 0.00001217 ft
/sec. (31.2 SSU). Correct tabulated values for fluid temperatures other than 60F as following:

Brass Pipe, in addition to Sch. 40 PVC Pipe
2. Table based on Darcy - Weisback formula
3. No allowance has been made for age, difference in diameter, or any abnormal condition of interior
surface. Any factor of safety must be estimated from the local conditions and the requirements of each
particular installation. It is recommended that for most commercial design purposes a safety factor of
15 to 20% be added to the values in the tables.
