    Radial Thrust Calculator: Radial Thrust (PSI) : F K X (H X s/2.31) X D XB

    Rahul Chandrawar
    This document provides instructions for calculating radial thrust in a pump. It gives the formula for radial thrust (FR) which considers factors like thrust factor (KR), head (H), specific gravity (S), impeller diameter (D2), and impeller width (b2). An example calculation is shown for a sewage pump operating at 40% of its best efficiency point (BEP), where the radial thrust is estimated to be 222 pounds. Worst case thrust could reach 660 pounds if the pump operated as low as 21% of BEP.

    Radial Thrust (PSI): FR = KR x (H x s/2.31) x D2 x b2


    Enter the required data in the highlighted cells. If you do not know the pump
    specific speed use the Ns calculator below.

    Instructions
    The numbers in ( ) are Pump Specific Speed (Ns). The curves represent the radial thrust factor
    from 0 to 120% of BEP flow for that particular specific speed. Select a point on the X axis that
    corresponds to the point to be evaluated on the pump H/Q curve. The thrust factor is the value
    on the Y axis where the curve intersects the selected X axis value. For values of Ns that fall
    between the ones shown you may interpolate the intersection. Impeller width (b2) is the width
    in inches at the discharge including the shroud(s). The example shown is for a sewage pump
    with a specific speed of 1785, operating at 40% of BEP flow. At 100% of BEP flow, radial thrust is
    reduced to 59 lbs. Worst case? This pump is approved by the manufacturer for flows as low as
    21% of BEP. At that flow point, radial thrust reaches 660 lbs.
