*
Values for maximum continuous inlet pressure obtained using a RV12 backing pump at sea level in negligible magnetic field. Values for maximum
continuous backing pressure obtained under no flow conditions at sea level in negligible magnetic field. Refer to Section 3.9 for cooling conditions.
Above these pressures, rotational speed drops below nominal.
