Find Your System’s Sweet Spot, Interact Below to See How Flow and Head Align
This interactive chart compares your pump curve and system curve to reveal the operating point, the exact flow and head where your pump and system work in balance. Adjust parameters such as pipe diameter, system length, static head, and VFD speed to see how each factor influences total dynamic head and overall system performance in real time.

This uses the same Hazen Williams equation as your spreadsheet: total head = static head + friction head.

Changes in System Curve
- Valve changes, fouling, and added pipe length or fittings increase head losses.
- When the system curve shifts upward, flow decreases. When it shifts downward, flow increases.
- Always ensure pump runout and minimum flow limits are maintained to protect equipment.
