✦ Synopsis
This article discusses which is least detrimental to exaggerate, head or flow, when in doubt about the actual required performance of a centrifugal p u m p at the specification stage. The pros and cons are addressed under six basic categories: boundary integrity & safety (related to potential release of dangerous or volatile fluids, or fracture or erosive failure of the p u m p casing), reliability, operating costs, maintenance
costs, capital cost, hydraulic performance.
