Pump Power Calculator

Calculate hydraulic pump power from flow rate, head, density and efficiency.

How to use this calculator

What to enter

Enter or select the following as requested: Flow rate (m³/s); Pump head (m); Density (kg/m³); Gravity (m/s²); Efficiency (fraction 0–1). Follow the units, valid ranges, examples, and options displayed beside each field.

What the result means

The engineering result is calculated from the dimensions, loads, material properties, flow conditions, or operating values entered. Check the unit system, material assumptions, boundary conditions, safety factor, and whether the model represents static, dynamic, or ideal conditions.

When to use it

Use this for preliminary engineering calculations or to check a worked problem. Verify assumptions and applicable design standards with a qualified engineer before using the result to design, size, or operate load-bearing or safety-critical equipment.
