gpm x psi / 1715 = hydraulic horsepower. is the horsepower equivalent of “lifting” a continuous volume rate of fluid to the height in ft represented by the pressure involved (as if a tall, open overflowing stand-pipe were connected to measure the pressure).
Q. What is the formula for calculating horsepower?
The equation to calculate horsepower is simple: Horsepower = Torque x RPM / 5,252.
Q. How do you calculate horsepower from flow and pressure?
The Equations
- = Brake Horse Power (hp)
- = Flow rate (gpm)
- = Pressure (psi)
- = Water Pump Efficiency (decimal)
- = Drive Motor Efficiency (decimal)
Q. How do I convert psi to horsepower?
Multiply that gallons per minute by the amount in psi. For the example, the amount in psi is 400. That multiplied by 20 gpm equals 8,000. Divide that number by 1,714 to obtain the hydraulic horsepower.
Q. How do you convert GPM to HP?
HP = (PSI x GPM) ÷ (1714 x EFFICIENCY) Important: As all systems are less than 10% efficient and efficiency factor must be added to the calculated input horsepower. Rule of thumb: For every 1 HP of drive, the equivalent of 1 GPM @ 1500 PSI can be produced.
Q. How many gallons per minute does a 1 hp pump?
One horsepower equals 3,960 gallons/minute/feet.
Q. How many GPH is a 1 hp pump?
52 GPM
Q. Can I replace a 1hp pool pump with a 1.5 HP?
So to answer the question, yes, you can replace your 1hp pool pump with a 1.5hp pool pump, but only if your situation calls for it. This will provide the flow that is needed to circulate your pool water properly and save you from high electricity bills at the same time.
Q. How strong of a pump do I need?
A good rule of thumb is that pumps should be able to pump out about half the pond volume every hour. For example, a pump that moves 500 gallons per hour would be appropriate for a 1,000 gallon pond. You don’t have to refer to a fountain pump size chart to figure out the best water pumps for your garden.
Q. How much weight can a 1 hp motor lift?
This means with 1 hp, you can lift about 550 lbs (250 kg) at a rate of 1 ft/sec, 1100 lbs at a rate of 0.5 ft/sec, 225 lb at a rate of 2 ft/sec, 1 lb at a rate of 550 ft/sec, and so on.
Q. How deep can a 1.5 HP well pump go?
The 1.5hp Submersible Deep Well Water pump gives you a class-leading flow rate, producing a consistent flow rate at up to dizzying 341 ft depth under surface. Manufactured from 304-grade stainless steel, this submersible pump is a durable workhorse that will keep you in flow for years to come.
Q. How many amps does a 1.5 HP well pump draw?
For example a 1.5 HP Baldor motor turning 3450 rpm draws 13.4 amps on 120 volt service.
