Activity 5-3: Vane Pump Cartridge Analysis
Below is a chart for two vane pump cartridges commonly used in industrial applications. Both vane pumps were tested to see how much fluid flow each produced at specific pressures under standard conditions. The standard conditions for both vane pump cartridges are 150 Saybolt Universal Seconds (SUS) hydraulic fluid at \(120^{\circ}\mathrm{F}\).
VANE PUMP CARTRIDGE ANALYSIS CHART
Use the Vane Pump Cartridge Analysis chart and information from the chapter to answer the following questions:
1. If the pump with cartridge \( A \) installed is operating at 1000 psi and the prime mover is rotating at 1200 rpm , what should a flow meter read if installed within \(6^{\prime}\) of the pump discharge?
2. If the pump with cartridge \( A \) installed is operating at 2300 psi and the prime mover is turning at 1700 rpm , what should a flow meter read if installed within \(6^{\prime}\) of the pump discharge?
3. If the pump with cartridge \( B \) installed is operating at 2000 psi and the prime mover is rotating at 1100 rpm , what should a flow meter read if installed within \(6^{\prime}\) of the pump discharge?
4. If the pump with cartridge \( B \) installed is operating at 3000 psi and the prime mover is rotating at 1400 rpm , what should a flow meter read if installed within \(6^{\prime}\) of the pump discharge?
5. If the pump with cartridge \( A \) installed is operating at 1000 psi , the prime mover is rotating at 1700 rpm , and the flow meter reads 13.5 gpm , what is the volumetric efficiency of the pump?
6. The pump with cartridge A installed is operating at 2300 psi , the prime mover is rotating at 1600 rpm , and the cartridge is 2.01 cu in. Place a mark on the chart where that should be represented.
