Upload Pump and Tank Curves

Upload pump and tank curves for use in analyses in Info360 Insight.

For example, tank curves are used to convert tank level to tank volume for non-cylindrical tanks, which in turn is used in Mass Balance analyses. Manufacturer pump performance curves are used to compare actual pump performance relative to manufacturer specifications.

You will need a CSV file for the pump/tank curve with two columns:

• Pressure, head, power, efficiency, and system curves:
  • Column 1 (X) represents flow data
  • Column 2 (Y) represents either pressure, head, power or efficiency
• Tank curve:
  • Column 1 (X) represents Depth (ft or m)
  • Column 2 (Y) represents Volume (ft³ or m³)

  Example tank curve CSV template

  Note: Make sure tank curve levels correspond to tank level sensor measurements. That is, that both are measured relative to mean sea level or both are measured relative to the bottom of the tank.

 

Upload pump or tank curves

1. Go to Data Pump/Tank Curves.
2. Click New Curve.
3. If you are uploading a single curve, you can enter a name. If you leave this field blank, the file name will be used as the curve name.

   If you are uploading multiple curves, the file names will be used as the curve names.

   Note: If a curve already exists with the same name, selecting Create will overwrite it with the new upload. You will see a warning or validation error about this.
4. Select the curve type and the units for the x-axis and y-axis.
   Note: When using a curve in a pump performance chart, if the units are different to the sensor's, the curve units will be converted to match the related sensor's unit of measurement.
5. Drag and drop your CSV files.
   Note: Each curve CSV file should have two columns, as described above.
6. Click Create.
7. For tank curves, add the curve to the related tank level sensor in Admin Sensor Configuration.
