To calculate the flow in gal/rev or GPM when the plunger diameter, stroke length, and number of
cylinders is known:
PD x PD x .7854 x SL x NC
=
GPR
231
GPR x RPM
=
GPM
To calculate the fluid flow velocity through a pipe or hose when the GPM and pipe size are known:
Pipe I.D. x Pipe I.D. x .7854
=
Internal Area = A
GPM x .3208
=
Flow Velocity
A
To calculate the size pipe of hose required to maintain a specified flow velocity when the GPM and
desired flow velocity are known:
GPM x .3208
=
Internal Area Required
FV
To calculate the maximum allowable GPM through a specified hose or pipe at a specified flow velocity
when the internal area of the pipe and the desired flow velocity are known:
FV x A
=
Max GPM
.3208
To calculate pinion shaft or driveline torque when the input BHP and pinion shaft RPM are known:
