Pump Specific Speed Calculation

The document defines the formula for calculating the specific speed (Ns) of a pump in both U.S. and metric units. The specific speed is calculated using the pump speed in RPM, flow rate in gallons per minute or cubic meters per second, and head per stage in feet or meters. No values are provided for the speed, flow rate, or head, so the specific speed cannot be calculated based on the information given.

PUMP SPECIFIC SPEED ( Ns ) ( [Link] )

N x ( Q ) 0.5
NS =
( H ) 0.75

WHERE
NS = SPECIFIC SPEED OF PUMP ( U.S. UNITS )
N = SPEED OF THE PUMP IN RPM
Q = FLOW IN USGPM FOR SINGLE SUCTION IMPELLER PUMP AND 50 % OF FLOW
IN USGPM FOR DOUBLE SUCTION IMPELLER PUMP
H = HEAD PER STAGE IN FEET

NOW N = SPEED = RPM

Q = FLOW = USGPM M3 / HR = 0.000 USGPM

H = HEAD = FT M = 0.000 FT

HENCE Ns = #DIV/0! = PUMP SPECIFIC SPEED IN ( [Link] )

= #DIV/0! = PUMP SPECIFIC SPEED IN ( METRIC UNITS )
