What is the duty point in pump?

The duty point in a pump is the specific operating condition where the pump's flow rate and head (pressure) meet the system's requirements. It represents the intersection of the pump's performance curve and the system curve, indicating the most efficient and optimal operation for both the pump and the system. Operating at the duty point ensures that the pump delivers the desired flow while minimizing energy consumption and wear. Deviating significantly from this point can lead to reduced efficiency and potential damage to the pump.
