Quick answer

Pump power depends on flow, total head, fluid density and efficiency.

Power = ρ × g × Q × H ÷ efficiency

How to use the Pump Flow Rate Calculator

  1. 1Enter the required flow rate.
  2. 2Enter total head including friction losses.
  3. 3Enter pump efficiency from the curve.

Frequently asked questions

What is total head?

Static lift plus friction and pressure head, not just the vertical rise.

What efficiency should I use?

60–80% for centrifugal pumps in typical duty.
