HOSE PUMPS
Make a note of this pump's F number, also known as its Flow Fluctuation Figure. Use the F number with the % residual fluctuation required figure from the smoothness shown for each type of application. These two figures, the F figure and the % figure, applied to the size selection formula give you the smallest practicable damper size.

The Systems Response:
Find the "F" Valve of Your Pump - "F" is a correction Factor on the square of number of displacers.
Example, Centrifugals are intrinsically good - have a high F, Sandwich diaphragm metering pumps have a low F.
The F figure assumes that the size of the shoe or wheel is approx. one third of the volume between shoes or wheels.
A hose pump squeches out 150 liters of effluent sludge per minute, with 3 shoes revolving 15 times per minute.
150 liter / 3 shoes x 15 revs = 3.33 liters between shoes@ 0.75 Hz.
