Pb = backing pressure, Qi = flow through the interstage-port (EXT255Hi only), Qp = flow through pump-inlet.
‡
Pumping speeds are without inlet-screen or inlet-strainer (EXT255Hi only). Inlet-screens and inlet-strainers
reduce speed by approximately 10%.

Pa).
***
Above this pressure, rotational speed drops below nominal due to thermal limitation of pump and / or
control module.

A larger backing pump may be required for maximum throughput.
