Centrifugal Pumps - Shut-Off Head

Sponsored Links

The maximum "shut-off" head for a centrifugal pump can be estimated as

hs = (d n / 1840)2                                       (1)

where 

h = head (feet)

d = outside diameter impeller (inches)

n =  wheel velocity - revolution per minute - (rpm)
