Centrifugal Pump
Centrifugal Pump calculation.Designs a pump based on hydraulic calculations and presents results. The hydraulic calculations are very representative for actual pumps; include sophisticated methods to assess the number of stages, suction conditions (NPSH), power consumption etc. The calculations provide reliable preliminary data about the pump that can be used during studies, basic engineering or as an independent benchmark for bid evaluations.
