Pump Altitude Calculator

Elevation Comparison

Unit System

Parameter	Value
Total height the pump raises the fluid Head (ft)
Volume of fluid moved per unit time Flow (GPM)
Power required to drive the pump Brake Horsepower (BHP)
Minimum pressure needed to prevent cavitation NPSH Required (ft)
Current operating altitude of the pump Current Elevation (ft)
New operating altitude for the pump New Elevation (ft)

Adjusted Results	Value
Estimated head at the new elevation Adjusted Head	-
Estimated flow at the new elevation Adjusted Flow	-
Estimated brake horsepower at the new elevation Adjusted BHP	-
Estimated NPSH required at the new elevation Adjusted NPSH	-

Tip: This calculator works in reverse, too! If you need to determine pump performance at a high altitude, enter your desired performance values as "Current Elevation" and set "New Elevation" to 0. This will show the equivalent performance at sea level, helping you size the right pump for your application.
