Pump Discharge Pressure Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Pump Discharge Pressure.
Ppump = Ps + Pd
- Where Ppump is the Pump Discharge Pressure (Pa)
- Ps is the suction pressure (Pa)
- Pd is the design pressure (Pa)
How to Calculate Pump Discharge Pressure?
The following two example problems outline how to calculate the Pump Discharge Pressure.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the suction pressure (Pa). In this example, the suction pressure (Pa) is given as 54.
- Next, determine the design pressure (Pa). For this problem, the design pressure (Pa) is given as 15.
- Finally, calculate the Pump Discharge Pressure using the equation above:
Ppump = Ps + Pd
Inserting the values from above and solving the equation:
Ppump = 54 + 15 = 69 (Pa)
Example Problem #2:
Using the same process as above, first define the variables required by the formula. In this case, these values are:
suction pressure (Pa) = 95
design pressure (Pa) = 189
Entering these values yields:
Ppump = 95 + 189 = 284 (Pa)
