Pumps & Fluid Systems
Configure the pump from duty point to complete fluid system
Mercura encodes pump curves, operating limits, materials, motor sizing, seal dependencies and accessories so sales teams quote valid systems from customer duty conditions.
Mercura does not invent hydraulic selection. It runs your manufacturer-defined rules — preferred operating ranges, material matrices, seal temperature limits, and accessory packages — while the duty point is still open.
From duty point to a valid pump package
Fluid, flow and head, material, motor, seal and accessories under manufacturer-defined selection rules — an illustrative model, not a full hydraulic design engine.
Pump duty configurator
Fluid + duty point → pump family → motor/seal/accessories · manufacturer-defined selection
Fluid
Illustrative fluid classes — not a chemistry database.
- Density
- 998 kg/m³
- Viscosity
- 1 cP
- Temperature
- 20°C
- Compatibility category
- General
Illustrative Mercura configuration. Curve bands, materials and seal limits are demo rules. Detailed hydraulic design stays with applications engineering.
Configuration chain
From fluid and duty to a valid pump package
Each step constrains the next. When sales skips a link, engineering gets the callback.
- 01
Fluid
Density, viscosity, temperature and compatibility class set material and seal bounds.
- 02
Flow + head
Duty point on the manufacturer curve — preferred range, not a free-text SKU guess.
- 03
Pump family
End-suction, multistage or PD options that can hit the duty within rules you publish.
- 04
Material
Cast iron, stainless or approved alloys filtered by fluid class — not a universal chemistry claim.
- 05
Motor
Shaft power and service margin from duty and fluid — undersized motors stay blocked.
- 06
Seal
Standard vs high-temp or chemical seals resolve from fluid and temperature dependencies.
- 07
Accessories
Baseplate, VFD, coupling, guard, instrumentation and skid as required package lines.
- 08
Valid system → quote
Complete commercial configuration priced in the same session.
Why selection fails
Three places a pump quote usually breaks
Not because sales cannot read a curve — because the quote tool cannot enforce manufacturer rules.
Duty outside preferred range
Flow and head land left or right of the band applications engineering allows. The spreadsheet still prices the pump.
Material and seal mismatches
Cast iron quoted on a light chemical. Standard seal quoted above its temperature limit. The failure shows up after install.
Motor and accessories forgotten
Undersized motor for viscosity or SG. Missing baseplate, VFD, or coupling until purchasing asks.
Before / after
The same duty, a different commercial path
Before
- Customer sends flow, head and fluid
- Sales engineer checks curves offline
- Materials and seals verified manually
- Motor sized from a separate chart
- Accessories remembered late — or forgotten
- Spreadsheet quote rebuilt after engineering review
With Mercura CPQ
- Duty and fluid entered in the sales flow
- Valid pump families surface within manufacturer ranges
- Incompatible materials and seals filter out
- Motor and seal dependencies resolve together
- Required accessories complete the package
- Validated system price and quote in the same session
