Holding speed constant, the H-Q curve for any given pump can
be shifted by varying the impeller diameter
Smaller diameter impellers produce less head and capacity

Holding impeller diameter constant, the H-Q curve for any given
pump can be shifted by varying the pump speed
Slower motor/shaft speeds produce less head and capacity
This is the property used by variable speed drives like the Wilo VFD

The brake horsepower shown on the curve is based on pumping water (S.G. = 1.0)
The actual brake horsepower must be corrected for specific gravity
