Pump Sizing

This document summarizes the sizing of a pump for moving water between an elevation of 99.5 feet and 86.6 feet. It identifies the pump model as a Goulds WS15D3 pump with a discharge pipe that is 130 feet long with a 3 inch diameter. Based on the pump and system curves, the operating point of the pump is determined to be 25.0 GPM of flow at a head of 160 feet, resulting in a velocity of 0.36 feet/sec and an operating pressure of 7.3 psi. Power requirements are also calculated.
