Pump Sizing Calculator helps contractors and tradespeople accurately size, spec, and estimate materials and systems.

Формула

Pump HP = (Flow GPM × Total Head ft) / (3960 × Pump Efficiency)

  1. 1Calculate total head (static + friction + pressure), select pump curve
  2. 2Apply the formula using your project measurements
  3. 3Add required safety factors or waste allowances per code

Worked Examples

Инпут
50 GPM, 100 ft total head, 70% efficiency
Резултат
HP = (50 × 100)/(3960 × 0.70) = 1.8 HP

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Not applying code-required safety factors or derating
  • Forgetting to account for waste and cut losses in material estimates
