N. 2) A tape measure was used to determine
the size and length of various pump system
components.
N. 3) Pressures were collected from
previously installed pressure gauges during
the site assessment.
N. 4) Line loss coefficients are estimated
based on pipe length, diameter, and material
as well as fitting type and quantity.
Rf. 1) Input power to pump drive shaft is
calculated using the Motor Analysis Tool
(MAT) on the previous page.
