SuctDia025, etc.) and the Discharge head design. Notice for the HdDes-A
& HdDes-CG discharge heads, the lengths are negative
because the suction nozzle is located below the mounting flange.
Suction nozzle

nozzle diameter dimension. This is used in sizing the suction nozzle basis
liquid velocity limits.
To populate the table:
1. In the navigational pane, open the Engineering data folder then the
Vertical pump data folder.
2. Click on the Suction nozzle diameter, inner node.
3.. The data manager pane will display the table
4. Enter a row rule.
5. Enter a column rule or rules.
6. Insert
the numbers of columns needed to populate your data.
7. Select or manually enter
rule criteria for the columns.
8. If multiple column rules are being used, in the auto-upgrade sequence
field, insert the number for each rule (in ascending order) for which
the Selector should follow when determining the values.
9. Enter data in the appropriate column-row
cell relationship. See the below example.

table in which the diameters are based upon the suction nozzle sizes.
In this case the suction nozzle will Auto-upgrade to the first acceptable
nozzle size for the conditions of service.

cell relationship. See the below example.
This image shows an example of a populated Can diameter, inner table in
which the diameters are based upon the can diameters (CanDia-6, CanDia8,..)
and the can design (CanPr-Std = standard can, CanPr-Hi
= high pressure can). The Selector will automatically upgrade using the
can diameters (to the first acceptable diameter) as directed by the "1"
in Can diameter Auto-upgrade sequence field.
Can pressure limit This table captures the maximum allowable
pressure limits for the different cans offered.
To populate the table:
1. In the navigational pane, open the Engineering data folder then the
Vertical pump data folder.
2. Click on the Can pressure limit node.
3. The data manager pane will display the table.
4. Enter a row rule.
5. Enter a column rule or rules.
6. Insert
the numbers of columns needed to populate your data.
7. Select or manually enter
rule criteria for the columns.
8. Enter data in the appropriate column-row
cell relationship. See the below example.
This image shows an example of a populated Can pressure limit table in
which the pressure limits are dependent upon the can diameters (CanDia-6,
CanDia-8, ...), can design (CanPr-Std = standard and
CanPr-Hi = high pressure), and the discharge head design.
The Selector will automatically upgrade the pressures for the can design
as directed by the "1" in the Auto-upgrade sequence field.
Well diameter, minimum allowed This table captures the minimum allowable
well diameter.
To populate the table:
1. In the navigational pane, open the Engineering data folder then the
Vertical pump data folder.
2. Click on the Well diameter, minimum allowed node.
3.. The data manager pane will display the table
4. Enter a row rule.
5. Enter a column rule or rules.
6. Insert
the numbers of columns needed to populate your data.
7. Select or manually enter
rule criteria for the columns.
8. If multiple column rules are being used, in the auto-upgrade sequence
field, insert the number for each rule (in ascending order) for which
the Selector should follow when determining the values.
9. Enter data in the appropriate column-row
cell relationship. See the below example.
This image shows an example of a populated Well diameter, minimum allowed
table in which the diameters are dependent upon the pump size, column
construction (threaded or flanged), and the column diameters.
Thrust bearing capacity This table captures
the thrust limit of bearings. It is used in conjunction with the bearing
type and bearing size product line options.
To populate the table:
1. In the navigational pane, open the Engineering data folder then the
Vertical pump data folder.
2. Click on the Thrust bearing capacity node.
3. The data manager pane will display the table.
4.Enter a row rule.
5. Enter a column rule or rules.
6. Insert
the numbers of columns needed to populate your data.
7. Select or manually enter
rule criteria for the columns.
7. Select or manually enter rule criteria for the columns.
8. Enter data in the appropriate column-row cell relationship. See the
below example.
This image shows an example of a thrust bearing capacity table. The auto-upgrade
is set to upgrade the bearing size when a limit is exceeded.
• For
bearings where the thrust limit is typically dependant on speed (because
it is typically back calculated from a required bearing life limit), the
table will need to be setup as shown by the red rectangle. In
summary:
o
Two columns of identical bearing options will be created
o
Two speed values will be defined (minimum possible speed and maximum possible
speed).
o
The thrust values for the specified speeds will be populated in the table.
The Selector will determine the correct thrust
value by interpolating between the two values using the actual rated speed
of the selection.
• For bearings where the
thrust limit is not dependant on speed, the table will need to be setup
as shown by the blue rectangle. In summary:
o
Only one speed value will be defined (maximum possible speed).
o
The thrust value will simply be the thrust limit of the bearing (independent
of speed).
o
If the thrust limits for ALL bearings in the table are independent of
speed, then the speed rule (row) is not necessary.
Thrust Balanced Stages - For applications
making use of the thrust balancing functionality, this table is used to
define the different quantities of balanced stages available for each
pump size. The table applies auto-upgrade to a “quantity of balanced stages”
subcategory to determine the minimum number of balanced stages needed
for a selection. See the example below.
“N/A” will cause an instant upgrade, while “STOP” will cause a downgrade
and end the sequence. For example, 8XKH cannot use any thrust balanced
stages, so STOP is written for column C, making zero stages the only result.
18MKL cannot use two or three balanced stages, but is compatible with
just one, four, or five. Having N/A in columns D and E will cause the
sequence to skip those columns and upgrade directly from one to four stages.
