How the Worksheet Works

This spreadsheet allows the user to find the pump power requirement (Watts or Brake Horse Power) for various feeder pipe diameters (in) and given a known flow rate (LPS), pipe length (m) and head (m) and then select a suitable pump based upon available pump characteristic data.

Inputs:

• Pipe length (m)
• Difference in height between collector tank and reservoir (m)
• Pump eff iciency (%)
• Pipe size (m, in)

Outputs:

• Pump flow required GPM, LPS
• Fluid velocity
