Pumps with service conditions within these limits are covered by this Practice: (a) maximum discharge pressure, 3,500 kPa (500 psig); (b) minimum pumping temperature, 0°C (32°F); (c) maximum pumping temperature, 150°C (300°F); and (d) maximum rotational speed, 3,600 rpm.
For services outside these conditions and those that fall within the capabilities of ANSI/ASME pumps, it is recommended that PIP RESP73H be used for purchase of pumps.
