To predict the tendency of scale formation, the Langelier's saturation index can
be used as a guide.
Saturation Index = pH-pHs where pHs is calculated at saturation with calcium
carbonate.
A positive index indicates a tendency to deposit calcium carbonate, the higher the
positive value, the higher the scale formation. A zero index corresponds to water
that is in equilibrium with respect to calcium carbonate.
11.5 Orifice Support Capacity
The SL-IV Waterjet Pump supplies high pressure (HP) water up to 3,800 bar
(55,000 psi). The following table shows size, ratings, and maximum quantity of
orifices that can be supported.
