Hydraulic Institute Engineering Data Book !!exclusive!! Info

So next time you see an old-timer reach for that battered blue-and-white volume, don’t smirk at the analog relic. Recognize it for what it is: a masterpiece of practical engineering, still quietly saving the day — one pump curve at a time.

Originating as a 1921 industry pamphlet, the Hydraulic Institute’s Engineering Data Book evolved over a century from essential printed friction tables into a modern digital platform for pump engineers. The resource transitioned to a free, interactive "Engineering Data Library" in 2020, offering real-time calculators for system efficiency.

The Hydraulic Institute (HI) Engineering Data Book is a comprehensive technical reference for the pump industry, offering essential data on fluid characteristics, pipe friction loss, and calculations. The content, originally published in1979 and updated in 1990, has been modernized into the free, interactive HI Data Tool which includes calculators for piping and system performance.

You need to certify a pump's efficiency for an energy rebate program. The Solution: The Data Book contains the appendices to HI Standard 40.6 (Methods for Rotodynamic Pump Efficiency Prediction). You look up the specific speed and flow rate to find the "allowable losses" for bearings and seals. This allows you to accurately calculate the pump efficiency (hydraulic power divided by shaft power) without destroying the pump for internal inspection.
