This document introduces four online centrifugal pump calculators: 1) a brake horsepower calculator that determines required horsepower given four variables, 2) a pump efficiency calculator that determines efficiency given motor kW and pressure/flow inputs, 3) a specific speed calculator that determines specific speed given three variables, and 4) a suction specific speed calculator that determines suction specific speed given three variables. These calculators can help with sizing pump requirements, evaluating pump efficiency, and determining pump geometry and flow stability.

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.
