1 hp centrifugal pump specifications​

Here are the general specifications for a 1 HP centrifugal pump (typical for water applications). Actual specs may vary by model and manufacturer:

1. General Specifications

  • Power Rating: 1 HP (Horsepower) ≈ 0.75 kW

  • Voltage:

    • Single-phase: 115V / 230V (common for residential use)

    • Three-phase: 208V / 230V / 460V (industrial use)

  • Phase: Single-phase or Three-phase (depends on model)

  • Current (Amps): ~4-8 A (at 230V, single-phase)

  • Frequency: 50 Hz or 60 Hz (region-dependent)

2. Performance Specifications

  • Flow Rate (Capacity): ~10–50 GPM (Gallons Per Minute) (~2–10 m³/hr)

  • Head (Pressure):

    • Max Head: ~50–100 ft (~15–30 meters)

    • Working Head: Typically 20–60 ft (~6–18 meters)

  • Efficiency: ~50–70% (depends on design)

  • Suction Lift: ~20–25 ft (for self-priming models)

3. Mechanical Specifications

  • Pump Type: Centrifugal (single-stage or multi-stage)

  • Impeller Material:

    • Plastic (PP, Noryl) – for light-duty use

    • Cast Iron / Stainless Steel – for heavy-duty/industrial use

  • Housing Material:

    • Cast Iron (common)

    • Stainless Steel (corrosion-resistant)

    • Thermoplastic (for chemical resistance)

  • Shaft Seal:

    • Mechanical Seal (standard)

    • Lip Seal (cheaper, less durable)

  • Inlet/Outlet Size:

    • 1" or 1.25" (residential)

    • 1.5" or 2" (industrial)

4. Operational Specifications

  • Speed (RPM):

    • 2900 RPM (high-speed, higher head)

    • 1450 RPM (low-speed, quieter, more efficient)

  • Max Liquid Temperature: ~140°F (60°C) for standard models

  • Self-Priming: Yes/No (depends on model)

  • Duty Cycle: Continuous duty (for most models)

5. Applications

  • Domestic: Water supply, irrigation, boosting pressure

  • Industrial: Cooling systems, light chemical transfer

  • Agricultural: Livestock watering, small-scale irrigation

6. Certifications & Standards

  • IP Rating: IP55 (water and dust protection)

  • NEMA Standards: (if applicable for motor)

  • CE / UL / ISO Certified (varies by manufacturer)
