Centrifugal Pump Performance Curve
Centrifugal pump performance curves are provided by manufacturers to present details on the resulting differential head, efficiency, power or required NPSHR as flow, impeller size or speed is varied for a given pump model.
This information can be installed in hydraulic models upon storage in the booster database and when the automatic sizing feature is OFF.
Application of a centrifugal pump performance curve in models enables determination of actual pump performance against hydraulic performance criteria to determine its suitability for the intended service.
