Abstract
This chapter discusses how pumps are normally selected to “fit” the hydraulic characteristics of the system they operate in. However, the objective of every application engineer is to get a good “fit.” Further, every purchaser hopes to get a good “fit” and assume that the undoubted risks associated with mis-selection have been avoided. There are some simple rules describing pumping pipe system characteristics. Knowing how they relate to the pump characteristic can greatly reduce the risk of operation surprises. The chapter also focuses on the three important characteristics of pipe system: mainly friction head, combined friction and static head, and mainly static head.
