Regarding the selection of pump head
Thread Content
Everyone, I have a question. There is a tank from which oil needs to be pumped to a factory, over a distance of 300 meters. The pump we have chosen is a vane pump with a head of 210 meters. The pressure loss in the pipeline over 300 meters is 125 meters, and the height of the pipeline is 6 meters. I would like to know what the pressure inside the pipeline will be during actual operation
Insufficient data to perform the calculation, as the base head pressure is unknown
Is the head selected too high? The pressure drop at 300 meters shouldn’t be that significant! ! Choose a larger diameter pipe; this reduces the pump head, and as a result, the power required by the pump decreases! !
Is a resistance loss of 125m for a 300m pipeline really that high?
I miscalculated, sorry; it’s probably 18M
Pipe pressure = static pressure + dynamic pressure. The static pressure increases linearly from 0 to 131 at the outlet side of the pump, while the dynamic pressure depends on the properties of the fluid and its velocity
