Hydraulic Horsepower
Hydraulic horsepower, abbreviated as \(HHP\), is a measure of power or the rate of doing work.
Hydraulic Horsepower formulas
\(\large{ HHP = \frac{ Q \; p }{ 1714 } }\) | (required to drive hydraulic pump) |
\(\large{ HHP = \frac{ Q \; p }{ 1714 \; \eta_p } }\) | (required to drive hydraulic pump) |
\(\large{ HHP = \frac{ h \; Q \; SG }{ 3956 } }\) |
Where:
\(\large{ HHP }\) = hydraulic horsepower
\(\large{ Q }\) = flow rate (GPM)
\(\large{ h }\) = head
\(\large{ p }\) = pressure (PSI)
\(\large{ \eta_p }\) (Greek symbol eta) = pump efficiency
\(\large{ SG }\) = specific gravity
