5.2 Determining the suction line length
For the determination of the maximum possible suction line length, the max-
imum suction vacuum must not exceed -0.4 bar (cavitation limit). An addi-
tional pressure loss of 50 mbar is considered for the resulting filter pollution.
The maximum density of fuel of EL of 860 kg/m³ and a kinematic viscosity of
6 mm²/s as per DIN 51603 are used for the pressure loss due to the friction
in the pipe.
