you should get that from your vendor.
for the time being, see the attached PDF. i exported it from reference page of my goulds pumps calculator that i wrote some 10 years ago. not sure if it's still valid.

Faizal,

I really appreciate your prompt response.
All I want to confirm is wheather model 3180 has separate set of equations for nozzle qualification. I don't find that in the PDF shared.

Regards,
Sharun

Understood. Though the equations on page 1 of the PDF only says 3196, the table for 3180 has Fmax, Mmax and for some sizes, Famax and Mamax. And on that page, the directions are not explicitly specified. So I would use to the same equations shown on page 1.
