a. Maximum speeds are based on a solution density of 1.2 g/mL.
b. Critical m speeds are based on a solution density of 1.2 g/mL.
† Critical speed range is the range of speeds over which the rotor shifts so as to rotate about its center of mass. Passing through or running at the
critical speed range is characterized by some vibration.
