USEFUL PUMP FORMULAS

Pressure Head (Feet) x Specific Gravity

=
(PSI) 2.31
Head Pressure (PSI) x 2.31
=
(Feet) Specific Gravity
Vacuum Dynamic Suction Lift (Feet) x .883
=
(Inches of Mercury) x Specific Gravity
Horsepower GPM x Head (Feet) x Specific Gravity
=
(Brake) 3960 x Pump Efficiency
Horsepower GPM x Head (Feet) x Specific Gravity
=
(Water) 3960
Efficiency Horsepower (Water)
= x 100 Per Cent
(Pump) Horsepower (Brake)

 HOW TO USE THIS BOOKLET
• Determine the Pump Model number from the quick selection charts on the cover of this
Booklet. Required data: Pump Flow and Head and desired RPM. Use the Standard Pumps
shown on this page when possible.

• Consult the individual pump curve for the desired pump model to determine the required
motor horsepower, pump efficiency and NPSHR.

• For faster, computerized pump selections, consult your Marlow Representative about
Marlow online Equipment Selection Program.
