Note: GPM and Discharge head pressures
5.7 must be known.

Find Correction number for any known
5.2 viscosity. Multiply correction number by
GPM desired. Locate this corrected GPM

Example:
3.7
Viscosity Correction Number

15 GPM at a discharge head of 50 psig is

3.5ņ ņ65,000
required. Viscosity is 35,000 SSU.
3.2
The correction number for 35,000 SSU is
3.0ņ ņ55,000 2.0. Multiply 2.0 x 15 GPM = 30 --
locate 30 PMP at 50 PSIG head on proper

At high viscosities suction conditions are
critical and must be adequate.

This chart is provided as an approximate
guide. Pump performance may vary
dependent on flow characteristics of
material being pumped.
