    This document describes how to calculate the hydraulic and shaft power requirements of a pump. It provides formulas to calculate the hydraulic power based on flow rate, fluid density, and differential height. It then explains that the shaft power depends on the hydraulic power and pump efficiency. Online calculators are also provided to calculate both powers using metric or imperial units by inputting values for flow rate, density, head, and efficiency.

    Hydraulic Pump Power

    The ideal hydraulic power to drive a pump depends on the mass flow rate, the liquid
    density and the differential height

    - either it is the static lift from one height to an other, or the friction head loss
    component of the system - can be calculated as

    Ph = q ρ g h / (3.6 106)                      (1)

    where

    Ph = power (kW)

    q = flow capacity (m3/h)

    ρ = density of fluid (kg/m3)

    g = gravity (9.81 m/s2)

    h = differential head (m)

    Shaft Pump Power

    The shaft power - the power required transferred from the motor to the shaft of the
    pump - depends on the efficiency of the pump and can be calculated as

    Ps = Ph / η            (2)

    where

    Ps = shaft power (kW)

    η = pump efficiency
