Pressure & speed (PV limit = Pressure x Velocity).
Temperature.
Fluid properties or characteristics.
Run out of the shaft.
Seal chamber type, available space radial and axial.
Flushing/cooling arrangements, utilities in the plant.
Mode of operation of the pump in the plant: continuous, cyclic, multi-
