Pump Catalogues
Pump companies supply up to date pump catalogues on disk.
Typical information includes:
- Flow rate, head, efficiency, power absorbed, NPSH for a range
of speeds / impeller cuts
- Pump performance envelope including minimum and maximum flow
rates, maximum impeller cuts, minimum and maximum pump speed
- Viscosity and temperature limitations
- Available pump materials
- Optional prices and standard accessories
- Updated price lists and performance curves distributed on
computer disk
Wide range of pumps including close coupled, bareshaft,
multistage and magnetic drive, with variable speed or trimmed impeller options.
Typical applications include industrial, irrigation,
chemical process, drainage and dewatering, sewage, and petrochemicals.
Intelligent Selection
- Pump selection within optimum "window"
- Set confidence bands around duty point to select within
- Select electric motor based on duty point, or non-overloading
based on end of curve power
- Specific gravity limitations for close coupled pumps
- Standard 2 and 4 pole motor speeds or customised speeds
- 50/60 Hz compensation
- Powerful filtering system for selecting suitable pump ranges.
- User defined units for input as well as graph display and
programme output.
- Automatic pipe selection based on standard pipe database, pipe
material, fluid velocity and pressure rating
- Viscosity correction factors for flow rate, head and
efficiency
- Specific gravity, temperature, and vapour pressure of required
fluid included in calculations
