Understanding Pump Flow Rate and Head

Why rated flow alone is not enough and how head losses affect the flow actually delivered on a farm.

Flow versus head

Start by defining the farm requirement and the parameter or process you need to control. Equipment should be selected from a measured operating need, not from marketing claims alone.

Static and friction head

Compare verified specifications, operating conditions, maintenance requirements, local serviceability and the consequences of failure. Where a value or supplier claim has not been verified, Jentan AquaTech will mark it as unknown rather than infer it.

Pump curves

Compare verified specifications, operating conditions, maintenance requirements, local serviceability and the consequences of failure. Where a value or supplier claim has not been verified, Jentan AquaTech will mark it as unknown rather than infer it.

Pipe sizing

Compare verified specifications, operating conditions, maintenance requirements, local serviceability and the consequences of failure. Where a value or supplier claim has not been verified, Jentan AquaTech will mark it as unknown rather than infer it.

Measuring real system performance

Compare verified specifications, operating conditions, maintenance requirements, local serviceability and the consequences of failure. Where a value or supplier claim has not been verified, Jentan AquaTech will mark it as unknown rather than infer it.
