Specific Spe<strong>ed</strong> Charts<br />

We have prepar<strong>ed</strong> a nomograph (Figure 2-2) relating pump specific<br />

spe<strong>ed</strong> <strong>and</strong> suction specific spe<strong>ed</strong> to capacity, spe<strong>ed</strong>, <strong>and</strong> head. The nomograph<br />

is very simple to use: Locate capacity at the bottom of the graph,<br />

go vertically to the rotating spe<strong>ed</strong>, horizontally to TDH, <strong>and</strong> vertically to
