    Pump Specific Speed and Inertia Estimate

    Uploaded by

    grabetty
    This document contains user input parameters and calculated parameters for a pump in both English and Metric units. The user input includes speed, density, head, and flow. The calculated parameters include power, torque, pump and motor inertia, total inertia, and specific speed. Footnotes indicate the pump inertia calculations are estimates using relationships from a referenced fluid mechanics textbook.
