Right, the pump may be operating at the end of curve. I stated such in one of my e-mails above that the actual operating point is not...

I don't think it is showing flow/head at BEP. It could be showing the maximum input power rating of the shaft mechanically. Power...

The pump nameplate shows 5.5 kW or 7.5 HP rating at 132 feet head and 40 gpm. The actual power required at an assumed 50% efficiency is...

A motor of 3.7Kw @ 2875 RPM has insufficient power to drive the pump, as you seemed to have already discovered. Why is it so hard to...

One thing though. If you hook the pump up to a system with larger pipe then it was meant to be installed in it will produce a much...

Thank you sir for your response. By stating that motors are unhappy if they dont run at their designed speed, does it mean if l hook up...

It is a typical pressure-enthalpy diagram. The enthalpy is a measure of the energy contained in a gas. You need to understand...

See attached Pressure-Enthalpy graph. Natural gas is clearly a gas at stated conditions.
