Flgure 1-21. The lower diagonal line represents reasonable and readily achievable
alignment precision for centrifugal pumps.

Finally, the detrimental effects of marginal alignment accuracy between
driving and driven shafts should prompt pump owners to insist on good
alignment. The lower diagonal line in Figure 1-21 represents reasonable and
readily achievable alignment precision for centrifugal pumps? while Fig-
