Specific Pump Power (SPP) is a metric in fluid dynamics that quantifies the energy-efficiency of pump systems. It is a measure of the electric power that is needed to operate a pump (or collection of pumps), relative to the volume flow rate. It is not constant for a given pump, but changes with both flow rate and pump pressure. This term 'SPP' is adapted from the established metric Specific fan power (SFP) for fans (blowers).[1] It is commonly used when measuring the energy efficiency of buildings.[2][3]
