    The document calculates pump flow rate from measured pump current and specifications. It finds the pump power in watts based on voltage, current, efficiencies, and power factor. It then uses the pump power to calculate the pump discharge rate in kg/hr and m3/hr, accounting for head, pressure, and liquid density. The calculated flow rate is 127 m3/hr, close to the required flow rate.
