Resumo:The concepts of fluid motion are used both in the design of new industrial plants and in solving problems in existing units. This phenomenon of mass transfer is present in almost all production processes in industry, and is one of the most important and expensive in the global production chain. The transport of liquids is promoted by flow machines called "pumps". Whenever there is a need to increase the working pressure or the flow speed of a liquid we use centrifugal pumps. These accelerate the fluid by means of the centrifugal force provided by the rotation of the pump impeller, thus providing kinetic energy to the moving fluid and transforming the internal kinetic energy into pressure energy at the impeller outlet. The industry presents the operating characteristics of a centrifugal pump through graphs called performance characteristic curves. This study aimed to build the main characteristic curves of a centrifugal pump and compare them with the curves provided by the manufacturer's catalog. The pump used was a single-stage Thebe THSI-18 with a 7.5 hp three-phase motor (220/380 V). With a 163mm closed cast iron rotor. But to obtain the curves, a bench was built for testing pumps, which would help in lifting the curves of several pumps, both submerged and centrifugal, so that they can be assembled and disassembled quickly and with reduced risk of accidents. The manometric height X flow rate and efficiency X flow rate curves were surveyed, the main curves that translate the behavior of a hydraulic pump. Through the values collected and applied to the theoretical equations, it was possible to obtain the curves, with the pump operating without drowning. The results led to the conclusion that the characteristic curves with the pump operating drowned assume the behavior governed by the theory and when the pump is operating not drowned they do not reach the flow values expected by the manufacturer and consequently are not close to the curves provided by the same.
