Free, browser-based calculators and reference tools built for process engineers working in food, beverage, dairy, pharmaceutical, and personal care applications. No login. No download. No spreadsheet.
When we help customers specify pumps and systems, we work through these calculations every day. We built these tools so you can run your own preliminary sizing before we even get on the phone — or bring your numbers to the conversation. Everything here is free, always.
All calculations run live in your browser. No server round-trips, no waiting. Change an input and the answer updates immediately.
Built on industry-standard methods — Darcy-Weisbach, Colebrook friction factor, log-linear viscosity interpolation, 3-A tube dimensions.
Look up your fluid viscosity, then carry those values directly into the friction loss calculator. Each tool is a step in the same workflow.
Estimate pressure drop in 3-A and ASME BPE sanitary tube systems. Accounts for pipe friction, fittings, elevation change, and additional system losses. Returns total system head in PSI or kPa — your minimum pump head requirement.
Interactive viscosity lookup for 72 sanitary process fluids. Enter your operating temperature and get an interpolated viscosity in cP — instantly. Covers dairy, food, beverage, pharma, personal care, and CIP chemicals, with pump selection guidance on every entry.
Check compatibility between 70+ sanitary process fluids and 8 common elastomer and wetted materials — EPDM, PTFE, Buna-N, FKM/Viton, Silicone, 316SS, 304SS, and Cast Iron. Set your operating temperature and ratings adjust automatically. Switch between card view and matrix view.
Determine whether your flow is laminar or turbulent, verify minimum CIP velocity, and understand how viscosity affects flow regime in sanitary tube systems. A natural companion to the friction loss calculator.
Input total system head, flow rate, and fluid properties — get required pump power in HP/kW, efficiency guidance, and a recommendation on which pump type from our lineup fits your application.
Installation, operation, and maintenance manuals for SPX Flow, Waukesha, and partner products.
Specifications, performance curves, and selection data for our full product lineup.
Product overviews, application walkthroughs, and maintenance guides from our engineering team.
Technical articles on pump selection, viscosity, CIP design, and sanitary process engineering.
Our application engineers are here to help you select and size the right solution. Bring your numbers from our tools to the conversation — or start from scratch. Either way, we're happy to help.
