The system load curve is a representation of the required pump pressure to move fluid through a fixed hydraulic setup at various flow rates. It helps to match the right pump size for a given hydraulic setup. The intersection of pump supply (flow-pressure curve) and hydraulic setup demand (system load curve) is the maximum achievable duty point.
In this lesson, you will learn…
… why the system load curve is of importance in pump selection
…what the dynamic and static head of system load curve represent
…how the system load curve can be calculated with Bernoulli’s equation of energy conservation
…how the system load curve can be determined experimentally
…how to select the right pump size with a given system load curve
