    Pump Sizing Calculator — Head, Flow, Curve

    Why round up to the next standard motor size?

    Motors are manufactured in discrete sizes (¼, ⅓, ½, ¾, 1, 1½ HP and up), so you select the next size at or above the computed brake horsepower. You should also verify NPSH-available against the pump curve and aim to operate near the best-efficiency point to avoid overload and premature wear.
