Pump performance curves provide crucial information for R&D, design engineers, and product developers in selecting the right pump for a given application. This piece reviews the creation and use of diaphragm pump performance curves to determine flow at given vacuum or pressure conditions. Included is a lesser-known trick to interpolate pump performance when flow restrictions exist on both the inlet and outlet sides of the pump.
