ROTARYTORQUESENSOR.COM / CONTACTLESS MEASUREMENTROTODYNAMIC PUMP EFFICIENCY / ENGINEERING CONFIGURATION
Measure the power entering the pump shaft, then compare it with the hydraulic output under your declared test protocol. Specify a rotary torque transducer with the correct shaft interface, speed and receiving electronics.
The application context is prefilled below. Add your actual duty and project details; the quoted drawing and evidence define the accepted configuration.
MEASUREMENT BOUNDARY / CHANNEL ACCEPTANCE
| Boundary / channel | Required measurements | Result or calculation | Review before comparison |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pump input shaft | Torque + RPM | Pshaft = T × n / 9549.2966 kW | Define whether seals, support bearings or intermediate drives are inside the boundary. |
| Hydraulic output | Flow Q + total head H | Phyd = ρ × g × Q × H / 1000 kW in SI | Q is m³/s, density kg/m³ and H is total head in m. |
| Liquid condition | Density, temperature and viscosity | Reproducible hydraulic duty | Use actual fluid properties and the declared lab protocol. |
| Electrical input | Measured drive or motor power | A separate overall-efficiency boundary | Do not label shaft efficiency as wire-to-water efficiency. |
These are review requirements, not released instrument ratings. Use the actual channel definitions and sign convention agreed for your laboratory.
MT-RTR-605 is a candidate review program for a supported motor-to-pump connection. Supply shaft diameters, keys, fits, axial engagement and maximum torque/RPM together. The sensor does not substitute for the required shaft support.
Review shaft sensor and encoder requirements ↗For a spline, provide the complete geometry and engagement. For a belt drive, identify pulley overhang, belt loads and external bearings before proposing a sensor arrangement. Do not transfer an unsupported radial load into an unreviewed measuring shaft.
Review spline or supported pulley interfaces ↗Declare the pump type, acceptance method, stations, instruments, calibration and operating conditions. Rotodynamic-pump guidance must not silently become a positive-displacement pump protocol. A torque sensor alone does not establish standards compliance.
Define the calibration and evidence scope ↗ORIGINAL HYPOTHETICAL CALCULATION / NOT MEASURED DATA
Hypothetical SI point: 20 Nm at 1500 RPM, flow 30 m³/h, total head 30 m and assumed density 1000 kg/m³. Use g = 9.80665 m/s² and Q = 30/3600 m³/s.

This result is arithmetic, not a pump test or a performance guarantee. Total head includes the relevant pressure, velocity and elevation contributions at the declared stations. A motor/drive electrical measurement would establish a different overall boundary. Obtain the actual liquid properties and apply the lab’s current agreed procedure.

Blank planning aid only. No test readings, certification, supplier approval or acceptance grade are supplied in this worksheet.
Carry this application into a quote / CAD request ↗A pump curve normally describes pump performance at its specified boundary. Electrical input also contains motor, drive and any intervening losses. Use direct pump-shaft torque/RPM or an explicitly characterized upstream loss model for the chosen comparison.
Only where the declared method and measurement stations justify that simplification. Different elevations and flow velocities contribute to total head. State the full hydraulic boundary and fluid properties.
No. It is a blank planning aid. The lab must define the applicable current procedure, instrument requirements, uncertainty, operating conditions and acceptance criteria.

P[kW] = T[Nm] × n[RPM] / 9549.2966. Mechanical hp uses 745.6999 W/hp; it is not metric PS. Signed inputs follow your shaft convention; capacity uses the magnitude.
The multiplier is your preliminary sizing allowance. It does not establish dynamic overload, fatigue or shaft-train safety limits. Those require the selected sensor and coupling data.
