Specific Speed and Modeling Laws 27

Pumps selected as models must have reliable hydraulic performance
based on accurate instrumentation. Unreliable model tests used as a basis
for new development will lead to total disaster. It is strongly suggested
that the selected model pump be retested to verify its hydraulic perfor-
mance.
In the following chapters of this book "specific speed" will be referred
to with many additional charts, curves, and technical plots.
