Question 1 of 27070

The static suction head of a horizontal centrifugal pump, is the difference in elevation between the __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Static head refers to a vertical distance, not pressure directly • On a centrifugal pump, suction and discharge sides are referenced to the pump centerline • Suction head is related to the elevation of the liquid surface on the suction side compared to the pump

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: when we measure any kind of pump head, what fixed reference point on the pump do we normally use? • Which side of the pump (suction or discharge) is involved when we talk specifically about suction head? • Look at each option and decide: which one describes ONLY the suction side liquid level compared to the pump, with no mention of discharge?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you are focusing on the suction side only when considering suction head • Confirm that the definition matches a vertical distance between a liquid surface and a reference point on the pump • Eliminate any choices that compare suction to discharge, since that would be total or differential head, not static suction head
