1. Definition
What is the full load torque ?
The torque applied by a
centrifugal pump at full load is called full load torque. It can be
calculated from the pump power and its speed.
2. Full load torque calculation
How to calculate a centrifugal pump full load torque ?
The full load torque of a centrifugal pump can be calculated the following way, it gives the relation in between the pump torque and the pump speed :T =
30.P / (π.n)
With :
T = Full load torque in kNm
P
= Pump power at full load in kW
n = Pump speed at full load in rpm
