The team leader asked that the inlet of the centrifugal pump used for transporting sulfuric acid be set to half open, while the outlet should be fully open. Everyone wondered if this was the correct approach
The inlet must be fully open, while the outlet is adjusted according to pressure
This is basic knowledge for operating centrifugal pumps; if you don’t even know this, how can you be a team leader?
No. The inlet must be fully open, while the outlet is adjusted according to pressure
His reason was that he was worried the sulfuric acid would cause leaks in the pump chamber; I argued with him about it for quite a while
That’s incorrect; nowadays, shielded pumps or magnetic pumps are used!
