Standpipe? was created by Rickcarter
What is the technical term for a pump suction pipe that enters the bottom of a tank and protrudes a foot or so inside to prevent pulling from the bottom of the tank?

I have three (different) Technical Dictionary's. I checked all three of them plus Webster's. I could not find a definition in any of them that came close to what you have.

I do however, remember working on a horizontal vessel where the pump suction nozzles (out of the bottom of the vessel) had an extension up into the liquid with a Vortex Breaker on top of the projection. The the purpose of this extension was to prevent impurities from being sucked into the pump while supporting the vortex breaker.

I do not remember what we called it. I will do some more research and see if I find anything.

I found this:
www.oilngasseparator.info/oil-ha ... types.html

Look at the three examples on the bottom row - left side. They all appear to have an extension of the nozzle up into the tank/Vessel along with a "Cross Plate" Vortex Breaker on top. This is what I remember but here again, no name.

p. s.: this type of question would get more comments and responses if it were in the :"The Technical Forum"

I don't think it has a specific name. I've always referred to this as an internal projection.

Does "Inserted Pipe" come closer than calling it 'standpipe' as standpipe already has generally accepted definition?

We do this type of thing all the time, however we don't have a "name" for a particular function or shape, we just call them "tank internals" ...and it's deal with on the tank appurtenance drawing and hinted at on the P&IDs.
