Katman Pump Selector

Selection software built on your own pump catalog, for centrifugal pumps, booster sets and fire pump sets, from duty point to PDF datasheet.

Katman Pump Selector

Overview

Katman Pump Selector turns a pump manufacturer's catalog into a selection tool that runs in the browser, with nothing to install. Enter a duty point and the liquid, and it lists the pumps from your catalog that meet it, with their curves, motor, materials and dimensions, and writes a PDF datasheet with your company's name and logo.

See It in Action

Start with the four-step pump selection, then see what is specific to booster sets and fire sets.

Why Choose Katman Pump Selector?

It runs in the browser, so your customers and your sales team install nothing, and every datasheet carries your company's details.

Your Products, Your Datasheets

Series, models, test curves, motors and materials come from one Excel workbook that you upload. The app and every PDF carry your company's name, contact details and logo.

Calculated at the Duty Point

Enter a duty point and the app finds the impeller diameter or the frequency that meets it and sizes the motor, then lists every pump that lands within your tolerances.

Any Language, SI and IP Units

The interface is in English, Turkish, Russian, Spanish and more, and any language can be added. Your catalog texts and manuals can be in each of them. Works in SI and IP units.

Four Steps to a Datasheet

  1. Step 1 · Series Filtering

    Isolate and filter series according to the selected operating mode (Centrifugal, Booster or Fire systems).

    Series Filtering
  2. Step 2 · Search Parameters

    Pick the search type, enter flow and head in SI or IP units, choose the liquid or enter its density and viscosity, and narrow the motors by speed, voltage, poles, IP and IE class.

    Search Parameters
  3. Step 3 · Product Selection

    Every pump that meets the duty point is in front of you. For the selected pump, you see its curves in 8+ graph types, the motor, materials, dimensions, drawing and user manual.

    Product Selection
  4. Step 4 · PDF Output

    Preview the PDF datasheet, adjust the file name and download it, or, with the projects module, add it to a project.

API and ERP support

Every manufacturer and engineering business operates within a unique digital ecosystem. We work closely with your technical teams to open the calculation engine through a custom API that can receive project data, run selections, and return the results in the exact way you want to use.

With the same collaborative approach, we can coordinate direct ERP integration around your existing business workflows, keeping pricing rules, inventory tracking, bills of materials, and quote outputs aligned with the engineering calculations your team depends on.

Katman Pump Selector Modules

Centrifugal pumps and the admin panel come with every installation. Booster sets, fire sets, UL/FM and projects are switched on as you need them.

Centrifugal Pumps

The base module. Search from a duty point within tolerances (Selection), browse every curve and click a point (Catalog), or pick one pump group and set the point afterwards (Manual).

  • Fixed impeller diameter
  • Trimmable impeller
  • Multistage
  • Multistage with trimmable impellers
  • Frequency converted, with minimum and maximum frequency curves

Booster Sets

Pick a set type from your catalog, then 1 to 5 identical pumps and the flow and head per pump. Each pump is calculated on its own, and the PDF opens with a system page for the set.

  • Suction and discharge manifold diameters by set type, series, pump count and flange
  • System page with a picture of that configuration and its manifolds

Fire Pump Sets

1 to 5 main pumps, each with an electric motor or a diesel engine, and an optional jockey pump on the same screen, with the calculations and checks of NFPA 20 and EN 12845.

  • Calculations and checks to NFPA 20
  • Calculations and checks to EN 12845
  • Its own list of motors and diesel engines, separate from single pumps and boosters
  • Fuel tank size for diesel drivers
  • PDF with a system page for the set, then a datasheet for each main pump and the jockey

UL / FM Listed Sets

Your UL Listed and FM Approved fire pump sets, in one list you can filter, each with its documents.

  • A series card for each listed set
  • Filter by motor type, flow in GPM and head
  • The set's PDF opens in the page

Admin Panel

Your administrators manage the catalog, files and users.

  • Catalog upload from one Excel workbook, checked for data integrity automatically, so nothing can be broken by accident
  • Curves fitted to your test points on upload, and 50 Hz data converted to 60 Hz or back
  • File manager for series and set pictures, drawings, wiring diagrams, manuals and summary PDFs
  • Registration with email confirmation and admin approval
New!

Projects and Offers

Collect selections from pump, booster and fire modes in one project, and print an offer from it.

  • Projects with a related company, an offer number and active or passive status
  • Each selection added to a project keeps its PDF and its flow, head, power and motor
  • Offer PDF in your preferred currency, with terms from presets, optionally with the saved product PDFs appended

What It Does

Everything between the duty point and the datasheet.

Operating Point

Each pump is shown where it really runs for your duty point, and only the pumps within your flow and head tolerances are listed.

Impeller Trimming

Trimmable pumps get the impeller diameter that meets your duty point.

Multistage Pumps

Every stage count that meets your duty point is listed, with the other stage counts shown on the same chart.

Frequency-Converted Pumps

Frequency-converted pumps get the frequency that meets your duty point, with their minimum and maximum frequency curves drawn.

Viscosity and Density

Choose water or enter any liquid's density and viscosity, and the performance and power are corrected for it, to ANSI/HI 9.6.7.

Motor Sizing

The right motor is chosen for each pump automatically. Pick another one and the app shows where it would be overloaded and warns you.

8+ Graph Types

Head, efficiency, power and NPSHr curves with the operating point and best efficiency point marked, including efficiency maps and the operating ranges of all results.

Refine the Point

Change the flow and head, or click the chart, and the selected pump's results, charts and PDF update.

PDF Datasheet

An A4 datasheet under your brand, with the duty point, performance, liquid, materials, pump and motor data, graph, drawing, dimensions and wiring diagram. Your own summary PDF can go in front if you like.
