HEAD LOSS CALCULATION

1. Head loss in following elements are not included in the calculations and hence shall be
included.
a. Head loss in Trash Rack
b. Entry losses were not considered.
c. Losses in bends was not consided.
2. At the end of Head losses capacity of the pumps was concluded as 10cumecs and 33 Meters.
If the same is to be adopted Head losses shall be recalculated based on 10 cumecs capacity.
Hence shall be concluded in co-ordination with WRD.

PUMP DRAWINGS:

1. Shut-off head was mentioned as 51.07 mmwc in Data sheet but in pump it was mentioned
as 49.5 mmwc. Hence shall be corrected as per actual values.
2. As per specification the line shaft bearings shall be of thordon or equivalent where as the
offered bearings are of metal backed cutless rubber type.
3. Values given in pump torque vs speed curve are not matching with the curve given as given
below and hence either of the same shall be corrected.
a. Motor rating was given as 4200KW
b. Pump input at shutoff condition was mentioned less than rated condition
(3258.08KW against rated power 3582.86kw) but in pump kw vs discharge curve
shutoff power is higher.
c. Maximum pump input over entire operating range was given as 3930kw where
as the pump kw vs discharge curve no where touches the value mentioned
above.
d. As per specification the motor rating shall be 20% higher than the Maximum
pump input over entire operating range if the above value is correct the Motor
rating shall be 4716KW instead of 4400KW.
4. QAP shall be modified with the following inclusions.
a. Pump performance test shall be conducted for all the pumps
b. Following tests shall be conducted for one pump
1. Strip test after performance test
2. Impeller dynamic balancing test
3. DP test on impeller and line shafts.
4. UT /Radiography on impeller shafts (review is also ok)
5. Hydro static test at 1.5 times the shutoff pressure on column pipe,
discharge head, bowlhead
5. NPSH Available calculation shall also be furnished.
6. For Pump Thrust bearing level switch with alarm and trip contacts shall be provided.
7. Material of impeller as per specification is AISIS 410 with anti abrasive special alloys coating
(SSCA 6NM) where as the offered material is ASTM A743 CA6NM. Differences of the both
shall be clarified.
