Conversion factors

Flow rate

l/min ÷ 60 = l/sec
m3/hour ÷ 3.6 = l/sec
GPM ÷ 13.2 = l/sec
kg/sec = l/sec

Figures are given for clean cold water.

Pressure

m Hd ÷ 10.2 = bar
PSI ÷ 14.47 = bar
kPa ÷ 100 = bar
kg/cm2 ÷ 10.2 = bar

Figures are given for clean cold water.

Variable-speed flow, head and power calculations

Flow rate

Flow rate at reduced speed = (reduced speed ÷ full speed) X flow rate at full speed

Head

Head at reduced speed = (reduced speed ÷ full speed)2 X head at full speed

Power

Power at reduced speed = (reduced speed ÷ full speed)3 X power at full speed
