Utilize the system curve and the pump performance curve to select the proper pump for a particular application. A fluid flow system is characterized with the System Curve - a graphical …

The System Curve The Hydraulic Institute defines system curve as: A graphical representation showing the total head loss of a system over a range of flow rates.

Oct 23, 2025 · What Is a System Curve? A system curve is a graphical representation of the total head (or pressure) required by your system at different flow rates. It combines static head …

What is a system curve? A curve showing the energy required to push water into a water system. Energy required increases as flow increases

A system curve is a graphical representation of the relationship between flow rate and the associated static and frictional head losses. It is generated by calculating the static head and …

The intersection of the pump curve and the system curve represents the pump’s operating point, where the flow rate and head produced by the pump match the pressure or head required by …

The volume flow at which the pump and system curves intersect each other, is the flow which will pass through the pipe system. In order to correctly determine the size and dimensions of the …
