Slip = Qthe - Qact.
%Slip = Qthe - Qact/ Qthe.

The Slip in the reciprocating pump is the measure of the difference between theoretical discharge and actual discharge.

Slip = Qth - Qact.

When actual discharge delivered by the reciprocating pump is less than theoretical discharge then that difference is called as Positive Slip and when actual discharge delivered by the reciprocating pump is more than the theoretical discharge then that difference is called as Negative Slip.
