Hello ptonyc, here is the solution you require: First we must determine the speed at which the pumps are driven. RPM of pump = 1750 x (3.75/5.25) = 1250 Since the 6.0 GPM is given at 1200 RPM we must calculate the delivery rate at 1250 RPM. GPM of pump = (1250/1200) x 6.0 = 6.25 GPM Converting GPM to cubic inches per minute. 6.25 gal/minute x 231 cubic inches/gal = 1,444 cubic inches per minute Now we can calculate the RPM of the two motors. Motor A: 1,444 / 10 cubic inches per revolution = 144 RPM Motor B: 1,444 / 3 cubic inches per revolution = 481 RPM Please let me know if you don't understand anything I have done. Ask for a clarification and I will try and explain further. Redhoss |

We are setting up the said pumps and motors and will test final rpm with a hand tachometer on Saturday, March 26, I will advise what actual hand tach tests out at. I don't know if your calculations will come out correct but I do believe it will be close. Thank you so much! |
