Pump Selection by Software

There is an increasing use of software to size and select pumps , but user
should verify the pump selected against the operating condition such as media characteristic
An example , a Lobe pump was selected and designed to run at approx 750 rpm for liquid detergent .The pump can perform, but the product is shear sensitive and it is going to create a lot of bubbles at the storage tank

Therefore . the user or engineer should take this into consideration and determine what is the maximum operating speed for the media.Experience plays a part when come to selection of pumps

Such high speed for lobe pump is not recommended unless pumping cooking oil.
