Evaluate NPSHA margins and estimate life-cycle operating energy costs.
Use as a checklist, not an automated design workflow. Complete and verify each calculation independently. Only explicit carry-forward links move a compatible value; all other inputs remain your responsibility.
What this workflow covers
Evaluate NPSHA margins and estimate life-cycle operating energy costs.
This 4-step checklist is intended for plant operations manager. Confirm each linked calculator's units, formula, assumptions and operating limits before using the result in a project decision.

Sequence Execution
1
Pipe Pressure Loss Calculator
Scope-limited calculation
Calculate water head loss and friction pressure drop in straight pipe runs using the Darcy-Weisbach equation. This screen is water-only; do not use it for slurry or compressible-gas service.
WORKFLOW INSTRUCTION:Confirm the published assumptions, enter the project data, and record the result and operating limits for Pipe Pressure Loss Calculator.
2
Static & Total Dynamic Head (TDH)
Calculate Total Dynamic Head required for pump selection from static lift, friction loss, and discharge pressure.
WORKFLOW INSTRUCTION:Confirm the published assumptions, enter the project data, and record the result and operating limits for Static & Total Dynamic Head (TDH).
3
NPSH Available Margin Check
Scope-limited calculation
Calculate Net Positive Suction Head Available (NPSHA) to prevent pump cavitation.
WORKFLOW INSTRUCTION:Confirm the published assumptions, enter the project data, and record the result and operating limits for NPSH Available Margin Check.
4
Pump Operating Energy Cost Calculator
Scope-limited calculation
Calculate annual electrical energy consumption (kWh) and operating cost ($/year) for pumping systems.
WORKFLOW INSTRUCTION:Confirm the published assumptions, enter the project data, and record the result and operating limits for Pump Operating Energy Cost Calculator.
