How to Read a System Curve: Simple Explanation

Chris explains what a system curve is and why is it helpful. Topics covered include friction loss, selecting pipe/fittings, flow, head, and how system curves compare to friction loss charts.

Thanks bro........

[@mahmoudsalem4288]

thank you very much for this great video,
ca you tell me a name for a software that i can use to calculate a system curve?
thank you

[@perspicaciousnjowa2111]

what happens when the pump system curve actually drops at shut off head and you operate across the peak system head?

[@dheyaalgallaf6060]

What are the factors leading to change from one system curve to another system curve?

[@glaziopluto8957]

In order to change the system curve something about the system itself needs to change like using different pipe fittings, materials, changing diameters, adding or removing sections, etc.

@@glaziopluto8957 how about fluid properties, e.g. visc, den, etc

[@glaziopluto8957]

@@dheyaalgallaf6060 I didn't consider that, but if you're allowed to change the fluid in the system then the system curve itself will ultimately change as well, depending on viscosity etc.

Metric please ... stone age units leave behind
