SpecLatch for pumps & fluid handling
Flow, head, and NPSH — one pump record behind every curve and datasheet
Pump data is performance data: duty points, curves, trims, and the calculations that connect them. SpecLatch stores it unit-aware — m³/h and gpm from one value — computes what's derivable, and generates the documents your applications engineers and distributors actually use.
The fields you actually spec
SpecLatch has no fixed schema — you model your own catalog. These are the kinds of fields pumps & fluid handling teams typically define, each unit-aware and tiered from day one:
Performance
- Rated flow
- Total head
- NPSH required
- Efficiency / BEP
- Max solids size
Hydraulics
- Impeller type
- Impeller trim
- Speed
- Specific speed
Construction
- Casing material
- Impeller material
- Seal type
- Flange standard
Drive
- Motor power (kW / HP)
- Frame size
- Enclosure / IP
- VFD compatibility
Series & models
One series, every model's data
Shared construction lives on the series record; each model records only what differs. No more forty near-identical rows where one forgotten cell becomes a customer-visible error.
Rollups go the other way: the series knows its own range, computed from the models beneath it.
What SpecLatch does with pumps data
Calculated fields
Derived values are formulas, not folklore
Hydraulic power, trimmed performance, converted duty points — computed by dimension-checked formulas on the record. The same math everywhere, tested once, never re-keyed.
Always current
Change a trim, and the paperwork admits it
Documents remember what they were built from. Update an impeller trim or a duty point and every affected datasheet is flagged stale until regenerated — before a customer finds the old one.
Portal & API
Distributors read the published truth
Curves, datasheets, and specs live on the record; your public catalog and the read-only API serve exactly the published, public-tier version. No more emailing PDFs into the void.
Three questions that tell you if SpecLatch fits
If two of the three sound familiar, it does:
Selections start from the datasheet: flow, head, NPSH, and the curve — requested before anyone talks price.
One impeller-trim change means touching the datasheet, the selection tables, and the distributor binder — by hand, in that order, eventually.
Your range is series with sizes underneath: same construction, different duty points.
