The error in the correction factors is not known, since tests have not been completed to verify the performance of pumps at the higher flows and heads. Currently, there is no test facility in existence which can complete the tests required to determine the true performance of a pump at high flows with viscous fluids. This initiative assesses what would be required for the development of a facility which could complete performance tests of pumps of varying sizes with high flow rates, high heads, and high viscosities. This effort included developing a basic design of a pump test facility and estimating how much it would cost to build such a facility. Two facility designs are proposed: an open loop and a closed looped design. Each design has distinct advantages and disadvantages which are outlined in this report.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PRCI Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44367630237774,"sku":"14828","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/prci-store.myshopify.com\/products\/l52359-pump-test-facility-characterization-study","provider":"PRCI Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
