How to Convert Units of Acceleration. Conversions are performed by using a conversion factor. By knowing the conversion factor, converting between units can become a simple multiplication problem: S * C = E. Where S is our starting value, C is our conversion factor, and E is our end converted result. To simply convert from any unit into grams, for example, from 5 kilograms, just multiply by the conversion value in the right column in the table below. 5 kg * 1000 [ (g) / (kg) ] = 5000 g. To convert from g into units in the left column divide by the value in the right column or, multiply by the reciprocal, 1/x.
There are several terms associated with the pump characteristic curve that must be defined. Shutoff head is the maximum head that can be developed by a centrifugal pump operating at a set speed. Pump runout is the maximum flow that can be developed by a centrifugal pump without damaging the pump.
A pump is a device that moves fluids (liquids or gases), or sometimes slurries, by mechanical action. Pumps can be classified into three major groups according to the method they use to move the fluid: direct lift, displacement, and gravity pumps.ome positive displacement pumps use an expanding cavity on the suction side and a decreasing cavity on the discharge side. Liquid flows into the pump as the cavity on the suction side expands and the liquid flows out of the discharge as the cavity collapses.
