Pump arrangement
Pump arrangement
(OP)
Hi there!
Quick question: I am designing a water booster pumpstation, using multiple stage axial split centrifugal pumps (due to 500 ft head). How can I determine how close the suction pipes can be situated to each other if coming off a main suction header. Is there a rule of thumb or any fancy calculation I could/should do?

They have examples of pump station layouts. Some of this information is in the back of the Goulds pump catalog.
