    This document provides an estimator tool for calculating the expected efficiency of a centrifugal pump based on its specifications. It includes inputs for flow, head, speed, number of stages, and other parameters. The tool then calculates an estimated efficiency percentage based on typical values from the Hydraulic Institute. It also includes a section with common hydraulic formulas.
