Online Pumping calculator helps to calculate pumping belt velocity from user inputs. Limit between 2000 and 5000 feet per minute (FPM). Belt Velocity less than 2000 FPM results in poor belt life. Belt Velocity greater than 5000 FPM requires dynamically balanced sheaves.
Formula:
V = [ π × d × RPM ] ÷ 12
where,π = 3.1416
d = Prime Mover Sheave Pitch Diameter
RPM = Revolutions per Minute-Prime Mover
V = Belt Velocity
