Formulas
Nozzles:
Impact Force (lbs.) = .0526 x GPM x √PSI
Nozzle # = GPM x   4000
                                 √ PSI
GPM= Nozzle # x    PSI  
                               √4000
PSI = (GPM/Nozzle #)
 x 4000
Horse Power:
GPM x PSI = Hydraulic HP
    1714
GPM x PSI = EBHP
     1457
EBHP x 1457 = GPM
        PSI
EBHP x 1457 = PSI
      GPM
HP loss due to altitude = 3% per 1000 FT 
above sea level
Pump Speed and Flow:
Rated GPM = Desired GPM
Rated RPM    Desired RPM
Motor Pulley Ø = Pump Pulley Ø
 Pump RPM 
    Motor RPM

Gallons x 3.785412 = Liters
Gallons x 128 = Oz.
PSI x .06896 = Bar
Bar x 14.5038 = PSI
1 inches = 25.4 millimeters
Liters x .2642  = Gallons (US)
Ft. Lbs. x 1.356 = Newton Meters
Inch Lbs. x .11298 = Newton Meters
Newton Meters x .737562 = Ft. Lbs. (force)
Newton Meters x 8.85 = In. Lbs. (force)
Temperature = 1.8(C° + 17.78) = F°,.555(F° 
- 32) = C°
