  • Page 28 13.1 Guide to performance curves Each pump setting has its own performance curve (Q/H curve). A power curve (P1 curve) belongs to each Q/H curve. The power curve shows the pump power consumption (P1) in Watt at a given Q/H curve. The P1 value corresponds to the value that can be read from the pump display.
  • Page 29 13.2 Curve conditions The guidelines below apply to the curves on the next pages: • Test liquid: Airless water. The curves apply to a density of ρ = 983.2 kg/m • and a liquid temperature of +60 °C. • All curves show average values and should not be used as guarantee curves.
