I am starting a feasibility study for a client that wants to move pond water uphill by siphon. The system would be primed with a small jet pump at the lowest pond (pipe inlet elevation 92.00). The stand (riser) pipes will be limited to 20ft lift (site restrictions). My initial research...
I have been tasked to develop a worksheet to calculate HGL. My pipeline will be a single pipeline from a pressure tank and well to a water storage tank (maybe uphill or downhill from well). The pipeline may be designed with one reduction in pipe diameter (2" Sch40 to 1.5" Sch 40). Fluids is not...

I have a client that wants a livestock watering system with 4 troughs controlled by float valve with 3/4" orifice opening. The well is a baseline with elevation zero, one trough is 10 ft higher at 356 ft distance, the other three troughs are 35 ft lower at 800 ft, 50 ft lower at 1560 ft, and 60...
I have a bladder tank with a pressure switch set to 30-50 psi. With power on and all valves closed, the gage shows 50psi. We fully opened the 1-1/4" ball valve so we could time the pump on/off cycle because we had concerns about the 45 gpm pump capacity and a 50gal total volume tank (~15 gal...
I am an Ag Engineer and I have been tasked to review truss designs for wooden pole barn building in a agricultural setting. Is there a publication or website that can help me decipher all of the information printed on the small manufacturer design sheets. I know the basics like load values...
