Pump Sizing Calculator

Our Pump Sizing Calculator helps engineers determine the optimal pump size needed for specific applications. It's designed for mechanical engineers and technicians who need precision in pump sizing.

Data Source and Methodology

All calculations are strictly based on the formulas and data provided by the Hydraulic Institute Standards. Visit their site for more details.

The Formula Explained

The formula used is: Pump Size = (Flow Rate × Head) / Efficiency

Glossary of Variables

  • Flow Rate (m³/h): The volume of fluid that passes through a pump per hour.
  • Head (m): The height to which the pump can raise the fluid.
  • Pump Size: The required capacity of the pump.

How It Works: A Step-by-Step Example

For a flow rate of 100 m³/h and a head of 20 m, with an efficiency of 70%, the pump size needed is calculated using the formula. Input these values to see the result.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the importance of pump sizing?

Pump sizing ensures the correct pump is selected for the desired application, improving efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

How can I ensure accurate input values?

Consult technical documents and manufacturers' specifications for precise data.
