Rated Head Pump

The document explains pump performance requirements, stating that a pump must deliver at least 150% of its rated capacity while maintaining a minimum head. For a pump rated at 2850 LPM and 80m head, it must still provide at least 52m of head at 4275 LPM. This performance is crucial for ensuring fire safety compliance during high-demand situations.

Pumps shall be

capable of furnishing not less than 150 percent of rated capacity at a head not less than 65 percent
of the rated head explain with example with a 2850 lpm pump with 80 mtr head

Explanation of the Pump Performance Curve

 The blue line represents the pump performance curve, showing how head (pressure)
decreases as flow rate increases.

 Key points marked in red:

o (2850 LPM, 80m) → The pump's rated capacity and pressure.

o (4275 LPM, 52m) → At 150% of the rated flow, the head drops to at least 52 meters
(which meets the requirement).

 Dashed lines indicate:

o Minimum required head (52m) at 150% flow.

o Rated flow (2850 LPM).

o 150% flow (4275 LPM).

Interpretation

 The pump operates efficiently at 2,850 LPM and 80m.

 If demand increases to 4,275 LPM, the pump will still provide at least 52m of head.

 If pressure drops below 52m, the pump may not meet fire protection requirements.

This ensures fire safety compliance by maintaining water pressure even during high-demand
situations.
