The weight of the piping connected to the inletsuction and outletdischarge flanges should be independently supported to avoid putting excessive weight on the pump, Gradual slope should be provided in the piping for the smooth flow by gravity of any liquid
entering the piping. For this reason, suctioninlet side piping should slope down towards the
pump and dischargeoutlet side piping should slope down towards away from the pump.
When the liquid entering along with the incoming gases is more, separator with arrangement for removing the liquid from the system before it enters the pump should be provided.
