Transfer Pump Sizing and Calculation Guide

The document outlines the calculation for selecting a transfer pump based on an overhead tank storage capacity of 600 gallons and a water flow rate of 20 GPM over a duration of 30 minutes. It details the effective pipe length, total friction loss, and total pressure head, leading to the selection of a specific pump model (65x40 - 250 M1.5) with a total pressure head of 17.04 m. Additional information on pressure conversions and water weight/volume is also provided.

Transfer Pump Size Calculation

#VALUE!
Overhead Tank Storage Capacity = 600 Gal

Time /Duration = 30 min

Water Flow Rate = 20.0 GPM


Pipe Size Diamter, D = 50 mm

If we know Pipe Size & Flow Rate, It can get the value of Fraction Loss

Velocity, V = 1.4 ft/s (From Friction Loss Chart)


Friction Loss = 0.65 ft/100ft (From Friction Loss Chart)

Effective Pipe Length = Straight Pipe Length + Equivalent Pipe Length

Straight Pipe Length, = 18.3 m


= 60.03937 ft

Equivalent Pipe Lenth = 65 ft (From Valve & Fitting Losses in

Effective Pipe Length = 125.0394 ft

Total Friction Loss = 0.812756 ft


= 0.247728 m

Total Pessure Head = Static Head + Total Frication Loss

Static Head, (Height of pump to tank) = 15.24 m

Total Pressure Head = 15.48773 m

Safety Factor = 10%

Tota Pressure Head = 17.04 m

From Pump Selection Chart, 17.04 m, 20.0 GPM
