2176 L/min (57.5 US gpm)        
-    
196.8 L/min (52.0 US gpm)        
   
20.8 L/min (5.5 US gpm)        Flow loss is used as a measure of pump performance. Flow loss is expressed as a percentage of pump flow.
Table 3
Method of determining percent of flow loss    
Flow loss (L/min or US gpm)     ×     100     =     Percent of flow loss    
Pump flow at
690 kPa (100 psi)    
Table 4
Example of determining percent of flow loss    
20.8 L (5.5 US gal)     ×     100     =     9.5%    
217.6 L/min (57.5 US gpm)    If the percent of flow loss is greater than 10%, the pump performance is inadequate.Note: The values in the examples are not set values for any specific pump or for any specific pump condition. Refer to the Hydraulic Specifications, RENR2028 for the pump flow of a new pump at 690 kPa (100 psi) and at 6900 kPa (1000 psi).Test on the Machine
Install a flow meter. Run the engine at high idle. Measure the pump flow at 690 kPa (100 psi), and at 6900 kPa (1000 psi). Use these values in the following formula.

Pump flow at
690 kPa (100 psi)    Test on the Bench
If the test bench can be run at 6900 kPa (1000 psi) and at full pump rpm, determine the percent of flow loss by using the above formula.If the test bench can not be run at 6900 kPa (1000 psi) or at full pump rpm, run the pump shaft at 1000 rpm. Measure the pump flow at 690 kPa (100 psi) and at 6900 kPa (1000 psi). Use these values in the top portion of the following formula. For the bottom part of the formula, run the pump shaft at 2000 rpm. Measure the pump flow at 690 kPa (100 psi).
