PumpBase™ for Windows™ 95/98/NT

PumpBase finds the best pumps for your fluid conveyance application. You can specify up to 40 selection criteria. PumpBase's database contains thousands of curves from many participating pump manufacturers. Detailed reports are created that can be submitted to pump manufacturers and sales representative for further application verification and price quotes.

 

Features -

  • Complete pump curve database access and editing.
  • Communicates with HYDROFLO for system curve development.
  • Quick affinity law conversions for speed and trim.
  • Extensive and editable liquid property database.
  • Automatic viscosity corrections to pump curves.
  • Efficiency and NPSHR curves are plotted on pump graphics.
  • Both English and SI (metric) units.
  • User Project files save all selection information.
  • Technical Bulletins/Dimensional Schematics available.
  • Liquid temperature rise calculations.

Operation -

  • View all pumps by default. As you add restrictions, database is screened.
  • Optionally specify operating point data TDH (total dynamic head) and operating flow to select pumps whose operating envelopes include the operating point.
  • Specify NPSHA (Net Positive Suction Head Available) to restrict selection to pumps whose NPSH required is adequate for operation.
  • Specify (or select) liquid property data to obtain pumps that can provide the required flow and TDH. Enter just the pumped liquid properties and view pump curves with viscosity corrections applied. Manual correction factors can be specified and applied to stocks, slurries and other liquids.
  • Specify additional selection criteria such as specific manufacturer, curve key, series/model, speed, 60/50 Hz, max sphere size, pump orientation (horizontal, vertical, in-line, side-suction, end-suction), application type (fire, well, process, sludge/slurry, dewatering, sewage, wastewater, HVAC), features (portable, submersible, split-case, solids handling, non AC powered, self-priming, high temperature, high corrosive, ANSI, ISO 2858).

Data Output -

  • PumpBase provides graphic output of pump performance, system and NPSHR curves. Summary pump selection reports list all pumps suitable for a specific application. Detailed specification reports can be sent to a manufacturer or sales rep for confirmation of proper application.
  • Selected pumps are ranked by efficiency and are displayed with associated data.
  • Calculated viscosity correction factors and liquid temperature changes are displayed.
  • NPSHR is calculated for pumps along with Brake horsepower and specific speeds at the actual operating point for a given impeller trim or speed. Maximum power for the actual trim or speed and maximum power for pump is calculated and displayed.

Databases -

  • All users have the ability to enter and edit pump curves. Registered pump manufacturers have password access to add and edit their pump curves. Users can access and save copies of all pump curves but cannot alter original pump curves.
  • Liquid property database elements: temperature, specific gravity, viscosity, vapor pressure, specific heat.
  • Pump database elements: manufacturer name, ISO certified, address, phone, fax, brochure graphic, pump curve key, pump description, series/model, suction size, discharge size, max working temp, max working pressure, max stages, speed, 60/50 Hz, max sphere size, impeller size, performance curve data, max and min flow, efficiency, NPSHR and additional data for selection criteria.
