A QUICK WALKTHROUGH
How to use this tool
- V/rev = N × π × D² × S / 4; theoretical flow = V/rev × RPM. D and S must be positive in the selected length unit; N is a positive integer; RPM may be zero. This single-acting geometric model does not calculate actual inlet flow, clearance losses or double-acting correction.
