2.2.2 Performance characteristics
The position of the gas-ballast control defines the performance characteristics of the pump. These performance
characteristics are listed fully in Table 2.
The curves shown in Figure 2 show the relationship between inlet pressure and pumping speed for the pump.
* Does not apply to non-gas ballast variants.
