IMPELLER TRIM CALCULATOR

1) Enter the pump test curve impeller diameter in cell B17

2) Enter the reduced or increased impeller diameter in cell B21
3) Enter up to eight flow values in cells C17 - J17
If there are fewer than eight points enter the last flow multiple times
4) Enter the corresponding heads in cells K17 - R17
If there are fewer than eight points enter the last head multiple times
5) Enter the flow efficiencies (%) in cells C18 - J18
If there are fewer than eight points enter the last efficiency multiple times
6) Calculated flows, heads & BHP will appear in the blue cells
7) Click on the tabs to view the curves
