Quick Estimate Formulas: Industrial Process Instruments and Controls

This document provides formulas for quickly calculating horsepower, torque, and other power metrics. It includes formulas for rotating objects, objects in linear motion, pumps, fans and blowers, conveyors, torque, AC motors, synchronous speed, and percent slip. Formulas are given for calculating horsepower based on torque and RPM, force and velocity, gallons per minute and head pressure for pumps, CFM and pressure for fans, and friction for conveyors.
