How to calculate the delivery flow and head of the plunger pump

To calculate the delivery flow and head of a plunger pump, you need to consider the following factors: Pump speed (RPM): The speed of the pump affects its delivery flow and head. Generally, as the pump speed increases, the delivery flow and head also increase. Plunger Diameter (D): The diameter of the plunger affects the delivery flow and head pressure of the pump. As the plunger diameter increases, delivery flow and head pressure also increase. Stroke length (L): The stroke length of the plunger affects the delivery flow and head of the pump. As the plunger stroke length increases, delivery flow and head pressure also increase. Number of plungers (N): The number of plungers in the pump also affects delivery flow and head. As the number of plungers increases, delivery flow and head pressure also increase. Pump Efficiency (η): The efficiency of a pump affects its delivery flow and head. A more efficient pump will produce more flow and head for a given input power. Once the values for these factors have been determined, the delivery flow and head can be calculated using the following formulas: Delivery flow=(NxD^2xLxRPM)/231 Lift=(NxDxLxRPMxη)/1,714 Where: N=number of plungers D = plunger diameter (inches) L = stroke length (inches) RPM = pump speed (revolutions per minute) η = pump efficiency as a decimal (e.g. 0.85 for 85% efficiency) Delivery flow is expressed in gallons per minute (GPM) and head is expressed in feet of head. 90-L-100-KA-5-CD-80-S-3-S1-E-03-GBA-42-42-24 90L100KA5CD80S3S1E03GBA424224 90L100-KA-5-CD-80-S-3-T2-E-03-GBA-42-42-24 90L100KA5CD80S3T2E03GBA424224 90-L-100-KA-5-CD-80-S-3-T2-E-03-GBA-42-42-24 90L100KA5CD80S3T2E03GBA424224 90L100-KA-5-CD-80-S-4-C6-E-03-GBA-35-35-24 90L100KA5CD80S4C6E03GBA353524 90-L-100-KA-5-CD-80-S-4-C6-E-03-GBA-35-35-24 90L100KA5CD80S4C6E03GBA353524 90L100-KA-5-CD-80-S-4-C7-F-03-GBA-35-35-24 90L100KA5CD80S4C7F03GBA353524 90-L-100-KA-5-CD-80-S-4-C7-F-03-GBA-35-35-24 90L100KA5CD80S4C7F03GBA353524 90L100-KA-5-CD-80-S-4-F1-F-03-GBA-29-29-24 90L100KA5CD80S4F1F03GBA292924 90-L-100-KA-5-CD-80-S-4-F1-F-03-GBA-29-29-24 90L100KA5CD80S4F1F03GBA292924 90L100-KA-5-CD-80-S-7-C7-E-09-FAC-35-35-30 90L100KA5CD80S7C7E09FAC353530 It is important to note that these formulas provide approximate values for delivery flow and head pressure and may not take into account all factors that may affect displacement pump performance. It is recommended to consult the manufacturer's specifications and/or consult a professional engineer to determine the optimum parameters for your particular application. In addition, there are other factors that affect the delivery flow and head of a piston pump, such as the type and viscosity of the pumped fluid, the condition of the pump, and the operating temperature. In order to obtain the most accurate delivery flow and head values, it is important to test the pump under actual operating conditions. This can be done by measuring delivery flow with a flow meter and head with a pressure gauge. In some cases, it may be necessary to adjust the pump's speed, stroke length, or plunger diameter to optimize its performance for a particular application. For example, reducing pump speed can increase head and reduce delivery flow, while increasing stroke length can increase head and delivery flow at the same time. Overall, calculating the delivery flow and head of a piston pump requires careful consideration of several factors, and it is important to consult an expert and perform testing to ensure optimum performance for your specific application. It's also worth noting that plunger pumps can have different types of plungers, such as ceramic or stainless steel, which can affect their performance and durability. For example, ceramic plungers may be more resistant to corrosion and wear, while stainless steel plungers may be better suited to handling high-pressure fluids. Additionally, piston pumps may have different types of seals, such as packing or mechanical seals, which can affect their reliability and maintenance requirements. Packing seals are generally more affordable but require more frequent maintenance, while mechanical seals provide a better seal and require less maintenance but are more expensive. Finally, it is important to ensure that the displacement pump is properly sized for the application to prevent the pump from being overloaded or underutilized, which can affect its performance and lifespan. When choosing the right size pump, factors such as the maximum pressure and flow required, the size of the pipe or hose, and the distance the fluid needs to be pumped should be considered. In summary, calculating the delivery flow and head of a plunger pump involves several factors, including pump speed, plunger diameter, stroke length, number of plungers, and pump efficiency. These values can be used to determine the best pump performance for a particular application, but it is important to consider other factors such as plunger type, seals and proper sizing to ensure reliable and efficient pumping. Another important factor to consider when calculating the delivery flow and head of a plunger pump is fluid viscosity. Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow and has a significant impact on pump performance. 90-L-100-KA-5-CD-80-S-7-C7-E-09-FAC-35-35-30 90L100KA5CD80S7C7E09FAC353530 90L100-KA-5-NN-60-L-3-C7-E-03-GBA-40-40-24 90L100KA5NN60L3C7E03GBA404024 90-L-100-KA-5-NN-60-L-3-C7-E-03-GBA-40-40-24 90L100KA5NN60L3C7E03GBA404024 90L100-KA-5-NN-60-L-3-C7-F-03-GBA-35-35-24 90L100KA5NN60L3C7F03GBA353524 90-L-100-KA-5-NN-60-L-3-C7-F-03-GBA-35-35-24 90L100KA5NN60L3C7F03GBA353524 90-L-100-KA-5-NN-60-L-3-F1-E-03-GBA-26-26-24 90L100KA5NN60L3F1E03GBA262624 90L100-KA-5-NN-60-L-3-S1-E-03-GBA-32-32-20 90L100KA5NN60L3S1E03GBA323220 90-L-100-KA-5-NN-60-L-3-S1-E-03-GBA-32-32-20 90L100KA5NN60L3S1E03GBA323220 90L100-KA-5-NN-60-L-4-C7-E-03-GBA-30-30-24 90L100KA5NN60L4C7E03GBA303024 90-L-100-KA-5-NN-60-L-4-C7-E-03-GBA-30-30-24 90L100KA5NN60L4C7E03GBA303024 Generally, higher viscosity fluids require greater pumping power and may result in lower delivery rates and heads. This is because the pump needs to work harder to overcome the resistance of the fluid. Conversely, lower viscosity fluids require less pumping power and can result in higher delivery rates and head pressures. It is important to select a pump that is suitable for the viscosity of the fluid being pumped. The manufacturer's specifications should provide guidance on the maximum viscosity the pump can handle. It's also worth noting that the viscosity of a fluid can change depending on temperature and other conditions, so it's important to consider these factors when choosing the right pump. In general, when calculating the delivery flow and head of a plunger pump, it is important to consider all factors that may affect its performance, including pump speed, plunger diameter, stroke length, number of plungers, pump efficiency, fluid viscosity , pump type plunger, seal type and proper size. By considering all of these factors, you can ensure that the pump is optimized for your specific application, resulting in reliable and efficient pumping.
