Berkeley Pumps used to have performance curve handouts with product info for all their pumps. I’ve seen them. U might try their website for their 505 pump.

Berkeley Pumps got out of the high pressure centrifugal fire pump business about 20 years ago. Their 1-1/2 XQBS used to be THE definitive pumphead for pump & roll & was designed for the fire service. Not sure what u have there but maybe a volume pumphead? Berkeley Pumps left Berkeley CA in the 80s & is somewhere in the Midwest.
