ANSI/HI 9.8-2024 is the current industry standard for designing pump intakes to ensure uniform, steady flow
: Minimizing time-varying fluctuations that can lead to mechanical stress. Vortex Suppression
Key takeaways for the engineer:
There was none.
, it provides normative criteria to ensure that the flow entering a pump is uniform, steady, and free from harmful phenomena like vortices or excessive swirl. Core Design Objectives
The standard provides specific design dimensions and criteria for various intake configurations: ANSI/HI 9.8 Rotodynamic Pumps for Pump Intake Design
Minimizing free-surface and sub-surface vortices that can entrain air or cause pressure pulsations. Swirl Minimization:
