Using the flow rate of 250 gpm,
select a plastic pipe diameter (2”, 4”, 6”, 8”, 10”…) &
determine the approximate pump head based on the following:
Minor pipe losses include 6-90 degree bends (standard) and one
plug valve straightway. Document your source for your
K-values.
Document which calculation method you used to calculate the
total pump head.
To save energy, choose the largest pipe diameter that provides
the recommended 2.0 fps velocity of flow.
Assume nominal pipe diameters as...
