Pump Type: CS represents the core pump type.

Impeller Material:

• Blank (no letter) = cast iron

• B = brass (150)

Motor (Phase):

• Blank (no letter) = 1-phase (1~)

• T = 3-phase (3~)

Port Size:

• 2 = 2” inlet/outlet ports

How to Read a Pump Performance Curve

A pump performance curve shows the relationship between Flow Rate (water volume) and Total Head (pressure). As head increases, flow rate decreases.

Axes and Units Breakdown

• Top Axis (Flow Rate): Imperial Gallons per Minute (imp g.p.m.) and US Gallons per Minute (US g.p.m.).

• Bottom Axis (Flow Rate): Cubic Meters per Hour (m3/h) and Liters per Minute (l/min).

• Left Axis (Total Head): Meters (m). Note: 10 meters of head equals approximately 1 bar of pressure.

• Right Axis (Total Head): Feet (ft).

• Model Curves (45-50, 65, 80, 90): Individual performance lines for specific pump models in this series.

  
  

Head vs. Flow Rate: What is More Important?

Both parameters are equally important and work together:

• Total Head: Overcomes elevation height and pipe friction so water reaches your outlets.

• Flow Rate: Provides enough water volume to run multiple fixtures at the same time.

💡 Expert Tip for Pump Selection: Find your duty point where required flow rate and total head intersect. Choose a pump model where this point falls near the middle of its curve for maximum efficiency and longer service life.
