Common Conversions

1 Bar = 14.5 PSI
25.4mm = 1 Inch
1 HP = 42.4 BTU/Min
1 US Gallon Oil = 7.08 lbs
1 GPM at 1500 PSI = 1 H.P. (General Rule)
1 US Gallon = 231 Cubic Inches = 3.7854 Litres

Application Formulae

HP = GPM x PSI
1714 x Pump Efficiency 		    PSI = 1714 x Pump Efficiency x HP
GPM
 
GPM = 1714 x Pump Efficiency x HP
PSI 		    HP = Torque (in.lbs) x RPM
63025
 
Torque = HP x 63025
RPM 		    RPM = HP x 63025
Torque
