A typical capacity curve for a rotary positive displacement pump shows that flow rate increases linearly with impeller speed up to the pump's best efficiency point, after which flow rate continues to rise slightly but efficiency falls off dramatically as internal leakage increases. The curve also indicates that flow rate is relatively constant over a range of discharge pressures at a given impeller speed.
