2900 or 1450 r/min? Same Pipeline Pump Model, Two Speeds

Model: ISG, IRG, IHG pipeline pumps

Many pipeline pump frames are built at 2900 and 1450 r/min. How speed changes flow, head and power, with real pairs from our table.

Product Overview

From DN65 upwards, many frames in our range appear twice under the same model name: once with a 2-pole motor at about 2900 r/min and once with a 4-pole motor at about 1450 r/min. Halving the speed changes everything.

The pattern

At half the speed, flow halves, head falls to a quarter and power to roughly an eighth. These are the affinity laws, and the table follows them closely.

When the low speed is the better choice

  • Circulation loops that need flow but little head
  • Quiet locations such as hotels and offices
  • Liquids with a little grit, where lower speed means less wear

When you order, always give the speed or motor power with the model. Both versions are listed in the selection table.

Typical Applications

  • choosing pump speed for quiet or low-head duties
