Back to Basics Pump Sizing - AIChE = Antoine coeficients = pipe internal diameter = hydraulic diameter of the pipe = Darcy friction factor = acceleration due to gravity (9 81 m sec2) = total system head = headloss due to fittings in meters water gauge (mwg) = reservoir liquid level relative to the pump centerline = headloss due to friction on the suction side of the pump
6 Basic Rules of Pump Piping Design - Pumps Systems Installing a new centrifugal pump? After carefully selecting the right size and materials, make sure the new pump is set up for success with proper installation Setting the base correctly and aligning the pump is crucial It is also important that piping to the pump is done properly
Pump Sizing 101 - Pumps Systems Pump sizing, in many cases, is an afterthought Many installers have a go-to pump that has been used for decades without fail
Understanding pump head and total head for pump performance - Atlas . . . Head is the height at which a pump can raise fluid up and is measured in metres or feet We use it when specifying centrifugal pumps because their pumping characteristics tend to be independent of the fluid’s specific gravity, often referred to as relative density
