If you are required to perform centrifugal pump calculations in your current job

assignment, we think you are going to find this website useful. The site contains
numerous on-line calculators. At this time, we want to introduce you to four handy,
easy-to-use centrifugal pump calculators:

 The Brake Horsepower calculator can be used to determine the required

centrifugal pump brake horsepower (BHP) for a given flow rate (Q), head (H),
specific gravity (S.G.), and efficiency (Eff). When you enter any four of these
variables as inputs, the calculator will automatically determine the fifth
variable. This is a handy calculator for sizing centrifugal pump driver
requirements.
 The Pump Efficiency with Electric Motor Driver is a unique calculator that
can be used to determine the centrifugal pump efficiency (effp) of a motor
driven pump. If you know these five inputs:
1. Motor KW,
2. Discharge pressure (Pd),
3. Suction pressure (Ps)
4. Flowrate (Q), and
5. Electric motor efficiency (effm).
the calculator will automatically determine the current pump efficiency. This is a handy
calculator for evaluating a centrifugal pump’s hydraulic condition in the field.

 The Specific Speed (US) calculator can be used to determine a centrifugal

pump’s specific speed (Ns) if you know the flow rate (Q), head (H), rotational
speed (N). If you enter any three of these variables as inputs, the calculator
will determine the fourth variable. A pumps specific speed is an indicator of
the basic geometry of the impeller, i.e. low specific speed pumps tend to have
large outside diameters and narrow, radial flow passages while high specific
speed pumps tend to have small outside diameters and large, more axial flow
passages. Pumps of the same specific speed can be scaled up or down for
greater or less flow and head requirements.
 The Suction Specific Speed calculator can be used to determine a
centrifugal pump’s suction specific speed (Nss) for a given flow rate (Q),
suction head required (NPSHr), rotational speed (N). If you enter any three of
these variables as inputs, the calculator will determine the fourth variable. A
pump’s suction specific speed is an indicator of an impellers flow stability at
low flows.
