Hello, I had been some pump cases where if I put spring on discharge or suction pump lines I able have the nozzle load within allowable, but I am not sure if to put spring on pumps discharge or suction lines could bring vibration or other problems.

Please could give me yours opinion or expirience???

from my experience:

for centrifugal pumps springs are not forbiden, but keep an eye on a WNC load case
