Atmospheric Pressure
Atmospheric Pressure
@ Sea Level
Absolute Pressure
The sum of the available atmospheric pressure and the gage pressure in the
pumping system
Absolute Pressure (PSIA) = Gauge Pressure + Atmospheric Pressure
Absolute P. = 150 PSIG (Gauge P.) + 14.7 PSI (Atmospheric P.) = 164.7 PSIA
Vacuum
The full or partial elimination of Atmospheric Pressure
Atmospheric Pressure on the Moon = 0 = Full Vacuum
1 Inch Hg Vacuum = 1.13 Ft of Water
Specific Gravity
Specific Gravity is the ratio of the weight of anything to the weight of water.
Specific Gravity of HCl = (Weight of HCl)/(Weight of Water) = (10.0)/(8.34) = 1.2
Pressure and Liquid Height Relationship (Head)
Affinity Laws
The performance of a centrifugal pump is affected by a change in speed or
impeller diameter.
Q = Capacity (GPM) D = Impeller Diameter N= Speed(RPM)
H = Total Dynamic Head(Feet) BHP = Brake Horsepower
The affinity law for a centrifugal pump with the impeller diameter held constant
and the speed changed:
Flow: Q1 / Q2 = N1 / N2
Example: 100 / Q2 = 1750/3500 Q2 = 200 GPM
Head: H1/H2 = (N1) x (N1) / (N2) x (N2)
Example: 100 /H2 = 1750 x 1750 / 3500 x 3500 H2 = 400 Ft
Horsepower (BHP):
BHP1 / BHP2 = (N1) x (N1) x (N1) / (N2) x (N2) x (N2)
Example: 5/BHP2 = 1750 x 1750 x 1750 / 3500 x 3500 x 3500 BHP2 = 40
The affinity law for a centrifugal pump with the speed held constant and the
impeller diameter changed:
Flow: Q1 / Q2 = D1 / D2
Example: 100 / Q2 = 8/6 Q2 = 75 GPM
Head: H1/H2 = (D1) x (D1) / (D2) x (D2)
Example: 100 /H2 = 8 x 8 / 6 x 6 H2 = 56.25 Ft
Horsepower (BHP):
BHP1 / BHP2 = (D1) x (D1) x (D1) / (D2) x (D2) x (D2)
Example: 5/BHP2 = 8 x 8 x 8 / 6 x 6 x 6 BHP2 = 2.1
Brake Horsepower
BHP = Flow(GPM) X TDH(FT) x SG /3960xEFFICIENCY(%)
Example: BHP = (100 GPM) x (95 Ft) x (1.0) / 3960 x .6 BHP = 4.0
