Can someone give the equation to determine the pump head in feet required to pump a liquid ( nitric acid - 98 %) about 350 feet with a 10 feet rise and a bunch of 90's - I am lost - stuck - i know it isn't too hard -
please provide some further details of your proposed pumping system as follows:
-Pump flowrate = ??? gpm -Is the fluid level on the suction side of the pump below or above the pump suction centreline ??? Also state how far below or above the pump suction centreline the fluid is. -Is the fluid discharged to atmosphere at the other end of your pipe into a tank ??? -Provide the viscosity of the fluid in centistokes or mm2/s if possible ? -Provide fluid density if possible ?
Come back with above data & details & we should be able to come up with a solution... regards pumpmanplee

RE: Pump Head - how to figure.... help.....
To keep your project simple do a search on the internet for "friction loss." You should get a lot of hits. This is one of many that I just got:
http://www.pump.net/frictiondata/fricofviscous.htm
This link give friction losses based on viscosity.
Hope this helps.

-Provide the viscosity of the fluid in centistokes
