1. You can check these results by doing your own calculations. To check the values calculated for pipe friction see the
Cameron Hydraulic data book pipe friction tables
The formula for velocity is v (ft/s) = 0.4085 x q(gpm) / (d(in))2
2. The liquid is assumed to be water. Pipes or tubes are issumed to be smooth such as steel or PVC.
3. Match the pump head calculated with the vendor's rated head for a flow rate close to your required flow rate.

4. If the suction line is longer than 3-4 ft, add this length to the length of the pipe.
5. The friction loss calculation is done using the Swamee-Jain formula.
6. This app is intended to be used for educational purposes, the author takes no responsibility for the use of these results.
