GPHQ L3A-36 Lobe/Rotor Pump at 960 rpm:
Estimated Flow Rate
Approx. 5.5 - 7.2 m3/h
Why:
L3A-36 is a standard 3-lobe pump. The displacement is roughly 0.006 - 0.0075 m3 per 100 rpm.
Formula: Flow m3/h = Displacement per rev x RPM x 60 x Volumetric efficiency ∼85-90%
At 960 rpm most L3A-36 pumps deliver:
At low pressure 0.4MPa / water-like viscosity: ∼6.5 - 7.2 m3/h
At higher viscosity like syrup, cream, oil: ∼5.5 - 6.5 m3/h
Nameplate Summary
Model: GPHQ L3A-36 Lobe Pump
Pressure: 0.4 MPa
Suction: 2 m
Speed: 960 r/min
Estimated Flow: ∼6.0 m3/h average
Note: The exact flow still depends on what you’re pumping. Water = higher flow. Honey/Oil = lower flow because of viscosity and slip.
