TDH
= PSI x 2.31 / S. G. or
TDH = PSI x 144 / W |
TDH
= Total dynamic head expressed in feet (total
discharge head minus the total suction head).
|
PSI
= TDH x S.G / 2.31 or
PSI = TDH x W / 144 |
PSI
= Pounds per square inch (total discharge
pressure minus the total suction pressure).
|
BHP
= Q x TDH x S.G. / 3960 x EFF or
BHP = GPM x PSI / 1714 x EFF |
BHP
= Brake Horsepower.
S.G. = Specific Gravity of fluid.
|
|
W
= Specific weight in pounds per cubic foot
of fluid (For example water W=62.32 lb per
cu ft@68 degrees F).
|
| |
GPM
= Gallons per minute of flow
|
|
EFF
= Efficiency of the pump
