Pump Power Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Pump Power (Pp):

\[ Pp = \frac{P \times Q}{1714} \]

Where:

\(Pp\) is the Pump Power in horsepower
\(P\) is the Pump Pressure in PSIG
\(Q\) is the Flow Rate in GPM

What is Pump Power?

Pump power is the power required to move a fluid through a pump, given the pressure and flow rate. It is an important parameter in the design and operation of pumping systems, ensuring that the pump can meet the desired performance requirements efficiently.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Pump Pressure (\(P\)) = 100 PSIG
Flow Rate (\(Q\)) = 50 GPM

Using the formula:

\[ Pp = \frac{100 \times 50}{1714} = \frac{5000}{1714} = 2.92 \text{ horsepower} \]

The Pump Power is 2.92 horsepower.
