Tools & Calculators

cut-ring-packing-length-calculator
Cut ring calculator

This specialised Global Pumps tool determines the amount of gland packing required for different shaft sizes as well as packing sizes.

Tip-speed-calculator
Tip speed calculator

Tip speed refers to the distance that any selected point on the peripheral of the impeller travels in a set amount of time. Using this calculator allows you to compare pumps in regard to their expected wear time.

Flow-rate-converter-calculator
Flow rate conversion calculator

Flow rate is the volume of fluid a pump can transport within a given time. You can use this result to examine if an existing setup is working efficiently. It can also be used to find different measurements for flow rate, as different manufacturers can use different measurements.

Pressure-conversion-calculator
Pressure conversion calculator

Do you use different pressure measurements from our pump’s descriptions? Not to worry - this handy tool converts your measurements into a variety of others such as psi, kPa, bar and more.
