hydraulic pump HP requirements
(OP)
Can anyone give me or direct me to useful formulae to calculate req'd horsepower for gpm and pressure?
This would be to size an internal-combustion engine to an (approximately) 22gpm 2-stage pump to run at 2500 to 3000 psi. Yes, this is for a log splitter.
Seems there are wide variations on these numbers from the people that sell pumps and those that sell engines.
Thanx, Gatz

RE: hydraulic pump HP requirements
another quick way- (flow x pressure)/1714 = HP
(if you know the effieciency multiply that by 1714 then didvide)
RE: hydraulic pump HP requirements
This will work for you
BHP = [Q x H x SG] / [3960 x Eff]
Q = rate in GPM
H = Head in FT
SG = specific gravity of pumped fluid
Eff = efficiency of the pump
All the best
