Pumps and Piping

A poorly chosen pump or undersized piping shows up in the energy bill, in equipment wear and in flow that never reaches the point of use. We size the complete system analytically, based on fluid mechanics.

01What we calculate

Pump sizing at the operating point
Pipe diameters
Distributed and local head losses
NPSH and cavitation risk

How we calculate

From the reservoir to the point of use, every meter is calculated

We model the complete pumping system and calculate the quantities that define the right pump and piping for your operation.

Flow rate

How much fluid the process needs, in m³/h.

Total head

Elevation difference plus the losses the pump must overcome.

Head loss

Friction along the piping and losses in bends, valves and fittings.

NPSH

Cavitation-free suction

Pressure margin at the pump inlet to run without damage.

How the project works

1
Data survey
We collect flow rates, elevations, distances, fluid and operating conditions, on site or from your drawings.
2
System modeling
We build the system curve with every head loss in the piping and fittings.
3
Selection and sizing
We define the pipe diameters and the pump whose operating point meets the process at the best efficiency.
4
Report and ART
We deliver the analytical calculation report, the technical specifications and the project ART.
