How do you find the operating point of a pump?
Five methods for determining pump operating point
- Measure total dynamic head.
- Measure motor/driver load BHP.
- Process instrumentation and process mass balance calculations.
- Tank volume changes.
- Other operating data.
Where does the system pump operating point for a flow system that includes a pump occur?
The operating point is where the system curve and the actual pump curve intersects.

What is operating pressure of pump?
The operating pressure of the system is a function of the flow through the system and the arrangement of the system in terms of the pipe length, fittings, pipe size, the change in liquid elevation, pressure on the liquid surface, etc.
How is the operating point of a pump and piping system determined?
The point at which a pump operates in a given piping system depends on the flow rate and head loss of that system. By graphing a system characteristic curve and the pump characteristic curve on the same coordinate system, the point at which the pump must operate is identified.
What is the system operating point?
The operating point of a system is the intersection point of the torque-speed curve of drive and machine. Both devices are linked with a shaft so the speed is always identical. The drive creates the torque which rotates both devices.

What is a pump chart?
A pump performance curve indicates how a pump will perform in regards to pressure head and flow. A curve is defined for a specific operating speed (rpm) and a specific inlet/outlet diameter. The curve also shows the shut off head or the head that the pump would generate if operating against a closed valve.
How is pump performance measured?
Understanding How to Measure a Pump’s Performance
- The mass and fluid velocity are related according to the following formula: v=m/pA Head, H.
- Maximum efficiency is achieved upon perfect balance between Q and h, particularly at the point between where Q=0 and h=0.
How does a pump create pressure?
When the liquid slows down in the pump casing, some of the kinetic energy is converted to pressure energy. It is the resistance to the pump’s flow that is read on a pressure gauge attached to the discharge line. A pump does not create pressure, it only creates flow. Pressure is a measurement of the resistance to flow.
Which is positive displacement pump?
A Positive Displacement pump (PD pump) is a mechanical device which displaces a known quantity of liquid for every revolution or cycle that the pump completes. The flow rate through a positive displacement pump is directly proportional to its speed and number of cycles over a given time.
What is the best operating point of a pump?
The Best Efficiency Point is defined as the flow at which the pump operates at the highest or optimum efficiency for a given impeller diameter. When we operate a pump at flows greater than or less than the flow designated by the BEP, we call this “operating pumps away from the Best Efficiency Point”.
What is the operating point of a pump?
Pump operating point. Pump operating point or duty point is the intersection of pump characteristic and piping system characteristic. The pump will always operate where the system and pump curves intersect. At that point, there is a balance between what the system demands and what the pump can deliver.
What is pump allowable operating range?
Depending on the valve position the system curve changes and duty point moves along the pump curve. Pump allowable operating range is the range on the Q-H curve within which operating point must be to provide effective and reliable pump operation.
What information is reported in the pump performance curves?
This is the primary information reported in the pump performance curves and very important information regarding most of the pump calculations related to differential pressure across the pump. As shown in the sample performance curves, usually 3 curves of differential head Vs. volumetric flow are reported.
What causes the operating point of a centrifugal pump to shift?
The operating point’s position shifts if the position or the gradient of the pump characteristic curve H/Q and/or the system characteristic curve. This takes place in the case of variable speed centrifugal pumps (see Closed-loop control) ( See Fig. 2 Operating point) or
