In the calculation sheets, calculations are at single points for Q = 20% to 100%
of nominal pump flow Qn. Q is the actual flow. H is the total dynamic head at
flow Q. The efficiency figures are multiplied with k-factors witch take into
account operating conditions with some accuracy. These correcting factors are
defined based on experience.
