Centrifiugal Pump:  Typical Expected Efficiency Estimator  (Courtesy and Copyright of www.PumpingMachinery.com)
     

    
 
Useful Formulas:
 
FLOW:
• GPM / 4.403 = M3/HR
• GPM / 15.9 = liters/sec
 
VELOCITY:
* FT/SEC = gpm x 0.321 / (π x in2 / 4)
* M/SEC = m3/hr x 277.8 / (π x mm2 / 4) = m3/hr x 0.43 / (π x in2 / 4)
 
PRESSURE:
* PSI / 14.7 = atm
• PSI / 14.2 = kg/cm2
• kg/cm2 = atm / 1.033
• PSI / 14.5 = Bars
• PSI / 145 = MPa
 
HEAD:
• FEET = psi x 2.31 / SG
• FEET = psi x 2.31 / SG
• METERS = atm x 10.3 / SG = kg/cm2 x 10.0 /SG
 
POWER:
• BHP = gpm x ft x SG / 3960 / EFF
• KW = m3/hr x m x SG / (367.5 x EFF)
• HP x 0.746 = KW
