    This document provides an example problem to calculate specific speed in customary and SI units. It gives the units for specific speed in customary units as rpm⋅gpm^(3/4)/ft^(1/2) and shows the conversion to calculate specific speed in SI units using unit conversion factors and data from tables. The calculated specific speed in customary units is 2000 and in SI units is 4.06 m^(3)/s.
