    Pump head calculations
    I want all relevant formulaes & graphs related to pump head calculations for inclination,flow resistance in pipes,bends etc.

    not inclination, it is heigth. A water column at 10 feet height would have a press of 4.33 psig at the bottom, or if you connect a pressure gauge to the bottom of a water pipe 10 ft height the gauge would read 4.33 psi. 10 X 0.433= 4.33... I don't have the pipe friction flow chart, but in order to use the chart you must first know your flow rate, or pipe size

    Inorder to answer correctly we need to know the height of the piping(vertical), the horizontal (friction loss) piping length and related fittings, and the flow rate
    For example: a building 30 ft in height, 2 in ID iron pipe, run horizontal at 50 ft with 9 -90L, 3 -45 L, 3 TEE, 2 gate valves, 1 spring load check valve, min flow of 250 gal
