Considerations for Impeller Trimming
Good practice would be to trim only the vane tips (Figure 3b) and to leave both the impeller cover (sometimes called impeller shroud) and disc at the recommended Gap "A" diameters. Best practice would be to cut obliquely (see Figure 3, c and d) for greatest structural support and to ward off resonant vibration.
