How is pump hydraulic power calculated?
Hydraulic power is calculated using Ph (kW) = (density × g × flow rate × head) / 3,600,000, representing the net energy delivered directly to the fluid.
Calculate circulation pump flow rate, head (m), hydraulic power, shaft power and recommended IEC standard electric motor size (kW).
Engineered for mechanical, HVAC, piping, and design engineers in compliance with international standards (ISO, DIN, EN, ASME, ASHRAE). Load the interactive tool for real-time calculations and automated reports.

Pump head represents the total mechanical resistance (pipe friction, fittings, valves and elevation) that the pump must overcome to circulate the fluid.
