TRANSFER PUMP CALCULATIONS

FLOW CALCULATION:
Total volume Of Tank

= 6000Liter

Taking initial filling time as 1 hour


Flow required

6000/5400

1.1 L/s

HEAD CALCULATIONS
Roof tank height
Height of building
Considering discharge pressure as
Pipe Length
Provision for fitting @ 25%
Friction losses of pipe 1 for a flow
of 1.1 L/S
Therefore losses

1.5 M
20 M
10 M
65 M
16.25 M

0.023
(65+16.25) x 0.023=
1.94 M
1.1%= 1.1
= (roof tank ht. + bldg.ht. + discharge press. +

F.O.S
Pressure required
Losses) (FOS)
Therefore Pressure required

= (1.5+20+10+1.9)1.1=38 M.
