Slip percentage Formula Elements

Variables
Slip Percentage
Slip Percentage is the difference between the actual and theoretical volume flow rates of a fluid in a pipeline or piping system.
Symbol: SP
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Actual Discharge
Actual Discharge is the quantity of fluid that actually flows through a pipe or channel, considering factors like pressure and flow rate.
Symbol: Qact
Measurement: Volumetric Flow RateUnit: m³/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Theoretical Discharge of Pump
Theoretical Discharge of Pump is the maximum flow rate of a fluid that a pump can deliver under ideal operating conditions.
Symbol: Qtheoretical
Measurement: Volumetric Flow RateUnit: m³/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
