Hi,
I have to give my approval for a proposal for a centrifugal pump, it should work at a rated flow of 38750 gpm @ 157 ft TDH, BUT it must be able to work with a flow of 15000 gpm (minimum). I have received a proposal for a pump that meets these conditions except that its minimum continuous stable flow is 21787.9 gpm.
What are the risks of having a pump working with such a less-than-minimum flow? Can I accept this proposal?
