Introduction
‘The Varley Double Helical Gear Pump
Handbook has been revised and
updated by demand from our
‘customers. It is a reference book for
designers, draughtsmen and buyers to
keep and use, enabling them to select
and specify a pump precisely.
By using Varley Pumps you are
benefitting from our 50 years of
experience and development in this field
which has made us leaders.
If you require to pump a liquid with
lubricating properties at flow rates
between 0.5 ignm and 200 Igpm
against pressures varying from p.s.i.
to 500 p.s.i. then your need falls within
the range of Varley double helical gear
units. Larger pumps can be supplied for
special applications and your enquiry
would be welcome.
With knowledge of the output required
and the differential pressure
(approximately same as discharge
pressure if inlet pressure low), make
provisional choice from Performance
Indicator Guide on page 6, then, more
accurately, with individual performance:
and power curves on pages 7—19,
taking viscosity into account
You are now in a position to specity
our pump precisely using the
lomenclature system given on page 4.
‘Should you prefer, our Engineers
or Agents will be only toopleased
to make a suitable selection for
you on receipt of full details of your
requirements.
