PUMP-FLO Doubles Registered Users in Less than Three Years

PUMP-FLO.com announced that the free pump selection website has over 200,000 registered users. Currently, PUMP-FLO Solutions has digitized nearly 135,000 pump curves, all of which are integrated into the PUMP-FLO selection software. On average, 65,000 pump curves are viewed each month from PUMP-FLO.com’s database. READ MORE

“PUMP-FLO has always been a great marketing tool for the manufacturers,” said Ray Hardee, P.E., Chief Engineer at Engineered Software, Inc. “The biggest benefit of our PUMP-FLO software is that it increases the visibility of pump manufacturers’ product lines to customers who use our PIPE-FLO piping system modeling software, putting the pump product lines right in the hands of the system designers.”

Q. What is the value of System Resistance Curves?

A. System resistance curves can be used to graphically determine flows and pressures in process systems where there is typically one supply pressure or tank, a centrifugal pump, a control valve, and one destination tank or pressure.   Using this graphical approach one can visually determine:

  • The flow rate through a pipeline or series of pipelines
  • The flow rate through a pumped system
  • Determine how multiple pumps operate in a system
  • Determine the differential pressure across a control valve to restrict flow to a specified valve
  • See how changes to the pump curve can be employed
In this article we’ll describe how to create a system resistance curve, and how to best gain information from it.  In future articles we’ll discuss means of controlling the flow rate, along with limitations of a system resistance curve, and explore ways to  visualize more complex piping systems.
