Pump flow tolerance problem
Pump flow tolerance problem
(OP)
Hello forum,
I am required to provide a target value for flow of 500 gpm. How much will be the tolerance over and above the 500 gpm flow? 5% or 10%? How do i determine that ? or will the pump manufacturer indicate that ?
Is there a formula or document to determine the flow tolerance?
thanks,

RE: Pump flow tolerance problem
In order to estimate the probable actual flow, we would need the 'pump curve' (from the manufacturer), and probably a complete specification/arrangement of the piping system on both sides of the pump
