Motor speeds listed are nominal. Actual pump speed and performance may very depending on conditions

Blackmer Characteristic Curves are based on Brake Horsepower (BHp). To determine Motor Horsepower, drive train inefficiencies must be added to the BHp.

Centipoise (cP) to SSU conversion is based on a fluid specific gravity of 1.0.
