(1) First determine type of fuel.
Use the following formula:
Note
both SG and API is at 60F.
SG = 0.8498 = 0.85 on pump performance graph (diesel)
(2) Enter the graph on the vertical
line at 103 PSI for diesel.
Follow this line horizontally to the right
until it intersects the head
capacity cure for 2,100 RPM. At this point,
all the answers are determined
vertically up or down, and horizontally right
or left.
(3) To read the rate of flow in GPM, move down to the horizontal line
for GPM and read the answer: 500-GPM.
(4) To determine the FTH read to the left of PSI.
To be more
accurate or to confirm your reading, go through the formula that was given
earlier as follows:
