The short answer
Select a pump by its flow at the required system head, not by maximum flow alone.
What to check
Record the liquid, temperature, target flow, pipe route, supply voltage and available space. Compare an operating point on a verified curve and validate it in your complete system.
Make the comparison meaningful
Record supply voltage, medium temperature, circuit arrangement and the measurement location. Compare candidate pumps under the same conditions. Maximum flow, maximum pressure and a single noise value do not describe a complete working point.
Before you choose a model
Ask for the current specification, performance curve and approved operating limits for the exact variant. Agree on the test method and acceptance criteria, then validate a sample in your equipment. This guide describes selection principles, not verified performance for a Shan Neng model.
