Pump Efficiency with Electric Motor Driver

Toggle OverviewAssumptions 1. This calculator can be used to determine the mechanical efficiency (p) of a centrifugal pump, assuming it is directly driven by an electric motor. To use this calculator you must be able to: 2. measure pump suction and discharge pressure 3. measure pump flow 4. measure motor power 5. know the mechanical efficiency (m) of the electric motor 6. Note: If the electric motor is operating at partial load, make sure you use its efficiency corresponding to actual load condition. 1. All data is taken at the same pump conditions, i.e. flow, pressures, and speed. 2. Electric motor efficiencies at full and partial loads are known. 3. Viscosity correction for the pumped fluid is not required. Short Long

Suction specific speed (US)


Toggle OverviewAssumptions 1. Calculate US version of suction specific speed. 1. Flow value is taken at the best efficiency point. 2. Flow value is 1/2 best efficiency point flow for double suction impellers. 3. NPSHr value is taken at the best efficiency point. Short Long

Shaft shear stress when horsepower, speed and shaft diameter are known
Toggle OverviewAssumptions 1. This calculator determines your expected shear stress due to a pure torque in a uniform shaft with no stress risers. 1. The shaft is experiencing pure torque. 2. There are no stress risers in the shaft. 3. Multiply your result by the stress riser value to get your actual shaft shear stress. Short Long
