Figure 15-16. Minimum submergence versus g.p.m. for vertical sump pumps.<br />

Most of these pumps are design<strong>ed</strong> like a horizontal pump except they<br />

have a self-priming casing. These pumps are us<strong>ed</strong> in mine dewatering<br />

(which is usually acidic), or in refinery service where a vertical immersion<br />

pump may not be us<strong>ed</strong> because of the space limitations.<br />

NonmetalHc <strong>Pumps</strong><br />

In the past 30 years, the dem<strong>and</strong> for pumps with greater corrosion resistance<br />
