    NPSH / Nss Calculator: N N Q / NPSH N N X 1.16

    Uploaded by

    Jorge Lora
    This document contains a calculator to determine the Suction Specific Speed (NSS) of a theoretical pump that could meet specified flow rate, available Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH), and speed requirements. It provides NSS values for both single and double suction pump configurations. If the NSS value is below approximately 12,000, there is likely a real pump that can meet the needs, otherwise a lower speed or increased NPSH may be required. The user enters flow rate, NPSH, and speed data to calculate the theoretical pump NSS.

    NPSH / Nss Calculator

    NSS = N(RPM) Q(BEP Full Dia) 0.5 / NPSH(BEP Full Dia) 0.75
    Is there a commercially available pump to meet your NPSH requirement? NSS(Metric) = NSS(US) x 1.16 (m3/hr, m, rpm)
    Enter rated flow, available NPSH, and pump speed below (in the units of your choice).
    The calculator will calculate the Suction Specific Speed (Nss) of the theoretical pump that will meet your requirments with a 1m (3ft) NPSH margin.
    If you see a Nss value at or below 11,000 (US units) or 12,760 (metric units) then there is probably a pump that will meet your needs
    If not, try a lower speed (e.g 1450rpm instead of 2950rpm)
    If the Nss is still too high, increase the NPSHA until you DO find a theoretical pump

    ENTER DATA ↓ ENTER DATA ↓


    Flow m3/hr 200 Flow (USGPM) 1100
    NPSHA (M) 5 NPSHA (FT) 25
    RPM 2960 RPM 3550

    Single Suction Pump Single Suction Pump
    m3/hr,m,rpm units 14800 USGPM,Ft,RPM units 11591
    USGPM,Ft,RPM units 12759 m3/hr,m,rpm units 13445
