Suction-lift curves are calibrated for
pumps operating at 305 m (1,000')
above sea level. This chart is meant
to be a guide only. There are many
variables that can affect your pump's
operating characteristics. The number
of intake and discharge elbows,
viscosity of pumping fluid, elevation
(atmospheric pressure) and pipe
friction loss all affect the amount of
suction lift your pump will attain.
