Pump quotes, engineered to the duty point.
Flow, head, fluid, NPSH, materials, seal plan, driver. Axle reads all of it, selects on the curve, checks the margins, and hands your engineer a priced quote with the submittal package attached.
Duty points arrive half-specified. Axle fills the gaps or asks.
Typical requests
- Transfer and process pumps from a duty point, usually with a deadline
- Chemical injection and metering pumps, alone or on a skid
- Sump, sewage, dewatering and booster duties
- Replacement-in-kind from a nameplate photo and a part number that no longer exists
- Pump, motor, baseplate and VFD packages
- Repair-or-replace decisions with a spares list attached
What Axle reads from them
- Flow and head, or pressure, at minimum, normal and maximum
- Fluid, specific gravity, viscosity, temperature, solids and abrasives
- NPSHa or the suction conditions to derive it
- Wetted materials, seal requirements and API plans
- Driver type, voltage, power available, VFD
- Environment, area classification, customer standards and approved vendors
Selected on the curve, not from a catalog page.
Axle runs the selection and sizing an applications engineer would, deterministically, and shows the inputs and margins so the check takes a minute.
Selection, configuration and sizing
- Pump type: ANSI and ISO end-suction, vertical, submersible, self-priming, gear, screw, diaphragm, metering
- Model and impeller trim on the curve, inside the allowable operating region
- NPSH margin, speed, motor sizing non-overloading to end of curve, VFD where specified
- Seal type and plan, materials of construction, and the customer's standards on both
- Baseplate, coupling and guard, gauges, isolation and check valves, dampeners and relief for PD pumps
- Spares and startup service, where you quote them
Validated before review
- Duty point inside the allowable region and near BEP
- NPSH margin against your rule, with the assumption behind NPSHa stated
- Motor non-overloading across the curve, service factor respected
- Materials compatible with the fluid and matching the spec
- Seal plan against the customer standard
- Accessories complete per your rules for the installation
- Vendor pricing current, margin above floor, lead time inside the requested date
A methanol injection pump, from text to priced BOM.
Positive displacement sizing looks nothing like a centrifugal curve. Axle runs the right calculation for the pump class. Illustrative

Quote, BOM and submittal
- Quote or proposal in your template, with pump, driver, accessories and spares itemized
- BOM in your Excel format with part numbers, sources and lead times per line
- Submittal: pump datasheet, performance curve at the duty point, motor data, seal datasheet
- Validation report and the assumptions list, for your engineer
Where it plugs in
- Manufacturer selection tools and curve libraries for your line card
- Vendor price files and distributor portals
- Your ERP for part numbers, cost and inventory
- Your CRM for the opportunity and the documents
- Email, where the RFQs actually arrive
Connectors are scoped per deployment. Where a system has no API, Axle works from the exports and files you already produce.
Pump questions.
Does Axle size the pump, or just quote it?
Both. It selects the model and impeller trim on the curve, checks NPSH margin and motor loading, and shows the inputs and margins next to the result. The calculations run in code, not in a language model.
Positive displacement and metering pumps too, or just centrifugal?
Both. Gear, screw, diaphragm and metering pumps use their own sizing: plunger, stroke and speed for capacity, NPIP instead of NPSH, turndown, and the accessories PD service needs, like dampeners and relief valves.
What if the RFQ has no NPSHa?
Axle asks the customer for the suction condition rather than guessing, and if it has to proceed it states the assumption on the quote and flags it for your engineer.
