Introduction

This pump hydraulics calculation sheet is used to decide

the required performance of pump i.e. Head, NPSH,
estimated shut-off pressure, estimated power
consumption and the optimum line size.

Hydraulic calculations are done automatically.

Pipe dimensional data as per ANSI/ ASME and JIS is

available.

Flow: Pump Description / Name to be indicated in service

Suction Drum: Suction vessel tag no. to be indicated

Minimum suction pressure and Maximum suction

pressure to be considered for shut-off pressure should
be given.

Minimum Liquid Level and Maximum Liquid Level in

Suction drum based on vessel data sheet.

Discharge Side: Destination (such as vessel / column no.

or BL) and the required Pressure at destination to be
mentioned.

Operating Conditions

Temperature, specific gravity, viscosity & vapor

pressure data is required for further calculations.

Percentage of Over design is calculated using

normal and design capacity of pump.

Hydraulics

It is possible to calculate hydraulics in maximum

three divided sections.

Extreme right end column in both suction and

discharge side should be used for any
configuration.

 <Security Level 2>
If two destinations are specified in discharge side, then
calculations results are obtained in following manner:

Discharge side Calculated Section

1st column From pump to branch
2nd column From branch to destination1
3rd column From branch to destination2

Temperature, Specific gravity, Viscosity and

flow rate values should be entered. If values are
unspecified then data given in Pump operating
conditions is used for calculations in following
priority order:

Sp.Gr. : Minimum Normal Maximum

Viscosity: Maximum Normal Minimum

Similarly, if flow rate value is not specified following

default will be used:

Suction side:

For section to MID1(1st column) Pump design

capacity X No. of
working pumps

For other sections Pump design

capacity

Discharge side: Pump normal

capacity

For hydraulics calculations Nominal pipe size, wall

thickness and pipe ID values are also required.

To enable the use of piping database provided with this
sheet enter inch index(”) along with pipe size.

Specify reference standard & schedule number for wall

thickness.

1 represents ANSI / ASME

2 represents JIS

Pipe ID is calculated automatically in this case.

If pipe ID is specified directly then values of Reference

standard and wall thickness are neglected.

Pipe roughness value is required for pressure drop

calculation.

Default value is used if roughness value is not entered.

Roughness:
CS 0.004572 mm……………Default

SS 0.0015 mm

Equivalent Length: For suction side, input number of

fittings
on the cells in Note *4) of this sheet.

Also specify the factor by which calculated Total

Equivalent length to be multiplied.

For discharge side total equivalent length value

(including actual length) to be given as an input.
Toyo Engineering India Ltd. 2008
 <Security Level 2>
Actual pipe length is required for both suction as well as
discharge side.

Pressure loss for individual components like strainers,

heat exchangers, control valves etc. can be entered.

Using liquid levels and elevation data liquid static head

is calculated.

Thus, minimum suction pressure and required maximum

discharge pressure resulted from hydraulic calculations
are indicated.

If there exists two destinations, then larger required

discharge pressure is indicated.

Toyo Engineering India Ltd. 2008

 <Security Level 2>
Deviation from this discharge pressure for each
destination is also indicated.

Differential Pressure:

Based on results obtained from hydraulic calculations,

decide values of suction and discharge pressure.

Once suction and discharge pressure values are entered,

head and margin included will be calculated.

Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH):

Specific gravity of fluid to be pumped is required for

NPSH calculations.

Toyo Engineering India Ltd. 2008

 <Security Level 2>

If specific gravity is unspecified here, then its value

from „Pump Operating Conditions‟ will be considered
in following priority order:

Minimum Normal Maximum

NPSH available (NPSHA) must be greater than NPSH

required (NPSHR) by the required margin (for
guidelines see GR-TEG1-1211-103).

Break Horsepower (BHP):

Based on data entered and results obtained,

estimated pump efficiency is calculated.

Toyo Engineering India Ltd. 2008

 <Security Level 2>

Pump efficiency value is required for BHP calculation.

If it is not specified, then above estimated value is
used by default. If vendor data is already obtained,
use vendor‟s efficiency.

Maximum shut-off pressure

Using specific gravity value, maximum liquid static

head value can be calculated.

Factors for Maximum shut-off pressure calculation

must be specified in NOTE *5)

Toyo Engineering India Ltd. 2008

 <Security Level 2>

This factor is based on anticipated performance

curve.
Usually 1.3 is applied for Shut off pressure
calculations.
However, actual shut-off pressure of the selected
pump sometimes exceeds that calculated by using
factor of 1.3. Thus, final shut-off pressure shall be
confirmed with the selected pump vendor‟s data.
