Pump Pressure Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Pump Discharge Pressure is:

$\text{P_{pump}} = \text{P_s} + \text{P_d}$

Where:

$\text{P_{pump}}$ is the Pump Discharge Pressure (Pa)
$\text{P_s}$ is the suction pressure (Pa)
$\text{P_d}$ is the design pressure (Pa)

What is Pump Discharge Pressure?

Pump Discharge Pressure is the total pressure that a pump must produce to move fluid through a system. It is the sum of the suction pressure, which is the pressure at the pump's inlet, and the design pressure, which is the pressure required to overcome the system's resistance and deliver the fluid to the desired location.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Suction Pressure (P_s) = 150,000 Pa
Design Pressure (P_d) = 250,000 Pa

Using the formula to calculate the Pump Discharge Pressure:

$\text{P_{pump}} = 150,000 + 250,000 = 400,000 \text{ Pa}$

The Pump Discharge Pressure is 400,000 Pa.
