Piping Systems

A key to economical operation is to minimize the work you have to do and to match your pump to the requirements. Both depend upon the piping system you move your water through. A suitable piping system for your operation can be determined by considering the three components that make up the total resistance to water movement in the pipe. This resistance, called the total dynamic head, determines the amount of work required to move each gallon of water. The total dynamic head is the sum of the lift, the velocity head and the friction head.
