The Hydraulic Institute (HI) is the global authority on pump standards. Their Engineering Data Book is a comprehensive technical reference that compiles essential data for the design, installation, and operation of pumping systems.
A plant replaces a pump for a 100°F water loop. The new pump produces 500 GPM at 100 ft head, but the system only needs 400 GPM. The operator throttles a valve, wasting energy. Section B provides the K-factor for a partially open gate valve. Section C teaches the engineer how to trim the pump impeller using the affinity laws (Flow ∝ Diameter; Head ∝ Diameter²), saving $12,000/year in energy. hydraulic institute engineering data book
The second edition of the Hydraulic Institute Engineering Data Book is divided into several technical sections: The Hydraulic Institute (HI) is the global authority
To extract maximum value from this resource, follow these engineering best practices: The new pump produces 500 GPM at 100
The Hydraulic Institute is currently integrating the Data Book into the , a cloud-based platform. Future editions will likely feature:
