Thanks,
I got that covered with gate valve, I am working with Crane, Velan, etc.. but want your input regarding an actuator. I am not quite sure about actuators though. Not getting straight answer from the reps on the torque and what would it take to manually operate at 1,500 psi 700 gpm.
Hi all,
Most of my life I dealt with municipal side with pressures up 50 200-300 psi, now I have a task to specify valves for the pump/piping system (water) for the pressures in excess of 1,300 psi. Can you please point me to right direction rgarding the following issues:
1.Isolation valves...
To make things complicated I just found out that the actual length of the pipeline is approximately 45,000 feet. The client appears to want us to use 6" Flexsteel pipe, that would put additional Oh gosh! 700 psi needed.
Now my head is spinning
The pipeline literally climbs up the hill, so as it goes up there will be slight changes in slope with possible peaks and short downturns. I am not quite sure yet, I just got the job. Looks to me that a 300 HP pump should do it, just need to find the pump to give me approx 700gpm@1,250 feet (I...
Thank you all,
I was looking at a multistage centrifugal pump that can give me over 500 psi. But I am a little bit concern about piping, I understand that ANSI #300 should cover it, but what kind of pipes and joints are rated for 550psi and not even thinking about air release valves, water...
Got a challenge. Need to lift approximately 700 gpm of water approximately 1,300 feet. Looking at different options, intermediate booster pumps, etc.., but I am curios if anyone has experience in lifting water at such a high pressure. Any tips on pumps, piping, etc.
Can anyyone share tips on installation of pumps outside in freezing conditions. We are looking at using vertical turbine pumps to be installed outside, pumping the water from the tank intermittently. I am worried about possible freezing water in the column or around the seal that would prevent...

the pipe sizes are 18" parallel force main, I also have a relatively long 8" surge relief piping. It's all ductile iron and the liquid is effluent water in a sewage treatment plant.
I am moving approximately 5000 gpm of water (inside the plant) at 130 psi. Do we need additional restrain on piping (rather than regular flanges. We have surge relief system that activates on appearance of transient pressure.
Thanks for your input
Depends on how accurate you want to be. If you want to use SWMM as CH81 suggested, there are some limits to pressurized flow, but it could be done. I would give it a shot. I used SWMM in complex systems with multiple pump stations/force mains and gravity sewers, but that was more for planning...
Does anyone know of some sort of portable biological (secondary treatment) unit that could be used for a certain period of time (while the existing unit (trickling filter) is completly rehabilitated). The average flow is around 100,000 gpd.
Thanks in advance
Thank you all; I understand concept an so on. My question was whether the manufacturer motor rating reflects shaft or input power. Steve clearly answered that it is shaft power. So basically we can have situation that 100 HP motor running at 100% load draws 107.5 HP (equivalent) and that...
I have a simple question. If a BHP is at certain level say 100 HP; and motor efficiency is say 93%; I always assumed that the motor rating should take in account the motor efficiency: in this case 100/0.93 = 107.5 HP. If the motor is rated: say 105 HP (the numbers are just for an example) does...
