Find the metres head of water (1.0 s.g.) equivalent of 54.76 bar
From bottom two lines: 50.00 bar = 509.85m
Select ‘4 bar’ line in first column and read along to figure under 0.7 in top line, hence:
4.70 bar = 47.93m
For 0.06 bar, read under 0.6 top line:
hence 6.12m dividing both figures by 10:
0.06 bar = 0.612m
thus by addition 54.76 bar = 558.392m note:
For liquids with specific gravities differing from 1.0, answer must be divided by actual specific gravity to obtain head in metres of liquid.

CalCUlatIon oF hEaD FoR PUMP sElECtIon
To fulfill a pumping duty a pump must develop sufficient head and meet the suction conditions. The total head of a system must take into account the difference in liquid levels at inlet and outlet, friction in the pipes, surface pressure (or in some cases vacuum) on inlet and outlet and the velocity of the fluid at discharge. The following diagram and example explains how to calculate the system head taking all these factors into account.
• hd = total discharge head
• hsd = discharge static head
• hpd = discharge surface pressure head
• hfd = discharge friction head
• hvd = discharge velocity head
System head = total discharge head - total suction head
H = hd – hs
The total discharge head is made from four separate heads:
hd = hsd + hpd + hfd + hvd
Contents

The total suction head consists of four separate heads hs = hss + hps - hfs - hvs
• hs = total suction head
• hss = suction static head
• hps = suction surface pressure head
• hfs = suction friction head
• hvs = suction velocity head Example
Calculate the total head of the following pump system.
The total friction through suction pipes and fittings is equivalent to 1m head and through delivery pipes and fittings is equivalent to 10m head.
The header tank and discharge pipe is open to atmosphere at sea level.
The suction velocity head is 0.1m and the discharge velocity head is 0.5m
Pumped fluid is cold clean water.

First we calculate the total delivery head, hsd and hss – from the diagram we can see that the discharge static head is 40m and the suction static head is 5m hpd –
millimeters of mercury x = meters of liquid
pressure at sea level is approx. 760mm Hg, specific gravity of cold clean water is 1, so 760 x 0.014/1 = 10.6m
so hpd is 10.6m, the header tank is also open to atmosphere so hps is also 10.6m
hd = hsd + hpd + hfd + hvd
= 40 + 10.6 + 10 + 0.5
= 61.1 m
hs = hss + hps - hfs - hvs
= 5 + 10.6 - 1 - 0.1
= 14.5 m
Total system head H = hd – hs
= 61.1 – 14.5
= 46.6 m
note:
Gauge readings need correcting for height of gauge mounting. For this purpose it is important that pressure gauges should be full of liquid. Where a vacuum gauge is used for a suction lift, the gauge pipe should be left empty and correction made from the point of connection, not from the gauge itself.

aUtoPRIME PUMPIng tERMs head
“Total Head from all Causes” is the combination of both “Total Suction Head and “Total Discharge Head”.
When static heights are kept to a minimum and pipework of the correct size for the pump is used, performance will be maintained and running costs minimised.
Suction head will be affected by changes in liquid viscosity and specific gravity and in the vapour pressure resulting from increased liquid temperature.
net Positive suction head (nPsh)
NPSHr: minimum liquid head (pressure) required by the pump at the impeller to pump the liquid, this is determined by the pump design. NPSHa: minimum liquid head (pressure) available from the atmosphere to deliver the liquid to the impeller for pumping.
Example:
NPSHa (Available) 10.5 m
less Static Lift 3.0 m
Friction & Vapour Loss 1.5 m
NPSHr (Required) 2.0 m
therefore leaving for suction lift 4.0 m

For a pump to fulfil a particular duty it must first be able to get the required quantity in. For example, a pump may work satisfactorily when installed at a given height above the liquid level on the suction side, but no longer do so if it is placed higher, even though the total head remains unaltered in view of a corresponding reduction in the height of lift on the delivery side.
The criteria for this is termed NPSH, which has two aspects, the NPSH the installation and operating conditions provide (NPSH available) and the NPSH needed to get stable flow into the pump impeller (NPSH required). The installation conditions and pump selection must be reconciled so that the NPSH required does not exceed the NPSH available.
Fluid not being sensibly cohesive, it cannot be towed. To be made to flow, it must be pressed from behind. There must, therefore, be either an extraneous pressure on the liquid and/or a head of the liquid itself, which is sufficient to cover losses as far as the pump inlet and then overcome pump inlet losses and create the requisite velocity into the impeller vanes.
The pressure available behind a liquid for creating movement is the absolute pressure on the liquid free surface, less the liquid’s own pressure to move in the opposite direction, i.e. to evaporate into the spaces above the free surface – this is called vapour pressure. The head available at the pump inlet for getting the flow into the pump impeller is
therefore:-• Absolute pressure on liquid free surface Ha
• Plus height of liquid free surface above pump impeller + hs
• Less liquid vapour pressure - hv
• Less losses between liquid free surface and pump inlet - hl (All expressed in metres head of the liquid).

note:
+hs becomes negative if the liquid free surface is below the pump impeller.
Care must be taken to state NPSH available taking all these factors into account, even though in particular cases the two may equalise each other, e.g.
with a liquid at boiling point hv equals Ha and they thus cancel each other out.
Otherwise confusion may arise through statement of NPSH, which is plainly inconsistent with the circumstances, e.g. a figure being quoted as NPSH when head over suction hs is meant.
The velocity required at inlet to the impeller vanes is a function of flow quantity, area at vane inlets and velocity induced by impeller rotation.
Consequently the NPSH required varies with pump type and size, and increases with both capacity and speed.
To maintain NPSH required within given limits, the permissible speed reduces approximately as the square root of capacity increases.
The increased vapour pressure of warm water often affects suction as indicated by the following table.
Negative figures represent minimum requirement of head of liquid above impeller eye.
note:
The above figures are intentionally conservative in order to cover varying suction capabilities of different pumps. Better values may be obtainable especially when the normal capacity of the pump is above the output required, but to allow investigation, full details should be submitted, and the possibility of the temperature being underestimated should not be overlooked.

lIQUID VIsCosIty anD Its EFFECts on PUMP PERFoRManCE Viscosity is the property of reluctance of a liquid to flow, i.e. the opposite of fluidity.
It involves units of force, length and time and can be expressed as ‘absolute’
in regard to the internal forces in the liquid, or as ‘kinematic’ relating these forces to the liquid specific gravity. The most widely used unit of absolute viscosity is the poise (100 centipoises). However, in all considerations of liquid flow and pump performance the operative factor is the kinematic viscosity, the corresponding unit being the stokes (100 centistokes).
Poises (centipoises) stokes (centistokes) =
specific gravity
Common viscometers (Redwood, Saybold, Engler, etc) give readings having arbitrary relationship to fundamental units. Conversion figures are given in the schedule overleaf. These are approximate only as they may vary slightly with temperature and other factors, and are not universally agreed on, but they are sufficiently accurate for the purposes under consideration.
The only values of interest to the pump engineer are kinematic viscosity at actual pumping temperatures. Viscosities are frequently quoted at standard reference temperatures, commonly 100ºF (37.8ºC) or 60ºC (140ºF). If either of these does not correspond with the actual pumping temperature, the viscosity at the latter must be obtained from product data or estimated from general viscosity/temperature curves.
The performance of a centrifugal pump when handling a viscous liquid depends not only on the viscosity of the liquid but also its relative size and on whether the pump is of low or high specific speed design. The smaller the required pumping duty, the lower the viscosity for which centrifugal pumps are appropriate. For these reasons it is necessary that all enquiries for pumps to handle viscous liquids should be submitted to the pump maker for individual consideration.
In the last column of the schedule, indications have been given of the approximate minimum practical size of centrifugal pump corresponding to each viscosity. In general, for greater viscosities exceeding 25 stokes, pumps of a positive displacement type should be used.

The affinity laws can be used to show the effect of either speeding up or slowing down the rotational speed of the impeller and also how changing impeller diameter will alter the performance of a pump. The affinity laws state that:
Pump capacity increases in proportion with impeller rotational speed.
Q
∝
NPump head increases in proportion to the square of rotational speed.
H
∝
N2Pump power increases in proportion to the cube of rotational speed.
P
∝
N3Where Q = Capacity, H = Head, P = Power and N= Rotational speed
This allows the change in performance to be predicted as a result of changing the pump speed.
Q2 = Q1 N2 N1 H2 = H1 N2 N12 P2 = P1 N2 N13
Where the subscript 1 indicates original condition and the subscript 2 indicates the revised condition.
Increasing either impeller diameter or rotational speed will have the same proportional effect on impeller peripheral speed. This means the same can be applied for changing impeller diameter.
Q2 = Q1 D2 D1 H2 = H1 D2 D12 P2 = P1 D2 D13
Where D = Impeller diameter
The affinity laws are proven to work more effectively for some types of pumps as opposed to others and the accuracy of them is dependent on the pump’s hydraulic design. Because of this fact and that there may be other limiting factors (eg. casing or seal pressure rating, bearing life, etc), it is strongly advised the pump manufacturer be consulted before any changes are undertaken.

hydraulic Institute test standards
In making tests under this standard no minus tolerance or margin shall be allowed with respect to capacity, total head or efficiency at the rated or specified conditions.
The following tolerances shall apply:
• At rated head +10% of rated capacity OR
• At rated capacity +5% of rated head under 500 feet +3 % of rated head 500 feet and over
Conformity with only one of the above tolerances is required. It should be noted that there might be an increase in horsepower at the rated condition when complying to plus tolerances for head or capacity.
For a fire pump the following tolerances from NFPA 20 shall also apply:
• At 150% of rated capacity, head will range from minimum of 65% to maximum of just below rated head.
• Shutoff head will range from minimum of 101% to maximum of 140% of rated head.
Exception
If available suction supplies do not permit the flowing of 150% of rated capacity, the fire pump shall be operated at maximum allowable discharge to determine if it is acceptable. This reduced capacity shall not constitute an unacceptable test.
