Hello,
In APi 610, paragraph 9.3.6, the span between the shaft bushings is specified, but not directly the shaft length. It is not obvious that this sleeve determined single part of pump shaft, eg. 6m lenhgt shaft.
What determined shaft lenght? Only technological possibilities?
Thank You for reply.
