Pump Head Calculation - 1

The document details the transfer of material from a vessel to a tanker. It provides information on flow rate, material properties, pipe dimensions, head losses from fittings and valves, and calculates total dynamic head and net positive suction head. The summary includes key parameters like flow rate, material density and viscosity, pipe sizes, total dynamic head, and available net positive suction head.
