Simran instruction manual Capacity nomogram for Reversible Pump RPU80/RPU160/RPU300

Page 15

Measurements and calculations for applying the RPU

Recommended rudder time: 10-15 seconds is normal for a 70° (35°-0-35°) rudder angle. (The time will be shorter for smaller angles and longer for larger angles.) A longer rudder time (20 sec.) should be chosen if the boat has a quick response.

Example:

The stroke length is measured to be 20 cm, D = 5.0 cm and d = 1.8 cm

The cylinder volume is:

 

 

= 340 cm

From the nomogram we find that the estimated rudder time in seconds, hard over to hard over, will be 7 seconds for RPU300, 13 seconds for RPU160 and 25 seconds for RPU80.
