Problem Statement:
Create a System Curve and Pump Curves at 3600 rpm
Primary Input

Discharge
Head pressure 33.9 ft fluid
Fluid pressure 21.5 ft fluid
Friction loss 45.6 ft fluid
Net Discharge Pressure 101.0 ft fluid
Differential Pressure (TDH) 58.42 ft fluid
To construct a system curve, calculate the TDH at a number of flow rates then plot on a Scatter Chart
This can be done by replicating the column of inputs and calculations in Column D (or Column G) several times, each with a different flow rate.
Or, a simple macro can perform the task, shown below
