SYSTEM OPERATING PRESSURE CALCULATION

1) Loss Head

= 90 ft

2) Static Head

= Static Water Column

= Pump level (+0.00 ) + Top Roof level ( +13.25 ) + 2 m
= 15.25 m ( 43.46 ft )

3) Minimum Operating Pressure = Static Water Column

= 43.46 ft
= 18.84 psi
3) Maximum Operating Pressure = System Loss Head
= 90.00 ft
= 39.02 psi
