3. Terminology
3.1 Definitions:
3.1.1 capacity, n—the quantity of fluid actually delivered per unit of time at the rated speed, including both the liquid and dissolved
or entrained gases, under stated operating conditions. In the absence of any gas or vapor entering or forming within the pump, the
capacity is equal to the volume displaced per unit of time, less slip.
3.1.2 capacity, maximum, n—the quantity of fluid delivered that does not exceed the limit determined by the formula in 9.2.
3.1.3 displacement, n—the volume displaced per revolution of the rotor(s). In pumps incorporating two or more rotors operating
at different speeds, the displacement is the volume displaced per revolution of the driving rotor. Displacement depends only on the
physical dimensions of the pumping elements.
3.1.4 dry operation, n—a brief run during priming or stripping with suction and discharge lines unrestricted and pump chamber
wet with liquid but pumping only air or vapor available from the suction.

F1510 − 21
3.1.5 effıciency, mechanical, n—the ratio of the pump power output (hydraulic horsepower) to the pump power input (brake
horsepower) expressed in percent.
3.1.6 effıciency, volumetric, n—the ratio of the pump’s capacity to the product of the displacement and the speed expressed in
percent.
3.1.7 fuel, clean, n—fuel purified for direct use.
3.1.8 fuel, dirty, n—fuel before purification which may contain water and some solids.
3.1.9 net positive inlet pressure available (NPIPA), n—the total inlet pressure available from the system at the pump inlet
connection at the rated flow, minus the vapor pressure of the liquid at the pumping temperature.
3.1.10 net positive inlet pressure required (NPIPR), n—the net pressure above the liquid vapor pressure at rated flow and pumping
temperature and at the pump inlet connection required to avoid performance impairment due to cavitation.
3.1.11 pressure, cracking, n—sometimes called set pressure, start-to-discharge pressure, or popping pressure—the pressure at
which the relief valve just starts to open. This pressure cannot be determined readily if the relief valve is internal to the pump and
it bypasses the liquid within the pump.
3.1.12 pressure, differential, n—the difference between discharge pressure and inlet pressure.
3.1.13 pressure, discharge, n—the pressure at the outlet of the pump. Discharge pressure is sometimes called outlet pressure.
3.1.14 pressure, inlet, n—the total pressure at the inlet of the pump. Inlet pressure is sometimes called suction pressure.
3.1.15 pressure, maximum allowable working, n—the maximum continuous pressure for which the manufacturer has designed the
equipment (or any part to which the term is referred) when handling the specified fluid at the specified temperature. This pressure
should not be greater than ⁄3 of the hydrostatic test pressure of the pressure containing parts.
3.1.16 rated condition, n—defined by discharge pressure, inlet pressure, capacity, and viscosity.
3.1.17 rotary pump, n—a positive displacement pump consisting of a casing containing gears, screws, lobes, cams, vanes, shoes,
or similar elements actuated by relative rotation between the drive shaft and the casing. There are no inlet and outlet valves. These
pumps are characterized by their close running clearances.
3.1.18 slip, n—the quantity of fluid that leaks through the internal clearances of a rotary pump per unit of time. Slip depends on
the internal clearances, the differential pressure, the characteristics of the fluid handled and in some cases, the speed.
3.1.19 speed, maximum allowable (in revolutions per minute), n—the highest speed at which the manufacturers’ design will permit
continuous operation.
3.1.20 speed, minimum allowable (in revolutions per minute), n—the lowest speed at which the manufacturers’ design will permit
continuous operation.
3.1.21 speed, rated, n—the number of revolutions per minute of the driving rotor required to meet the rated conditions.
3.1.22 suction lift, n—a term used to define a pump’s capability to induce a partial vacuum at the pump inlet.
3.1.23 temperature, maximum allowable, n—the maximum continuous temperature for which the manufacturer has designed the
equipment (or any part to which the term is referred) when handling the specified fluid at the specified pressure.
