SELECTION

How to select a submersible pumpset TMH in m.

In order to correctly select the pump The total manometric head is calcu­
and the materials to be used, it is lated on the basis of the following
necessary to consider of the following parameters:
fac­tors: - Dynamic water level in the well at the
Water characteristics : required pumping capacity Hd in m.
- Geodetic head above ground level Hg:
- Type of water (potable, salty, indu­
• Up to the highest water level in the
strial, thermal, etc.)
elevated tank in m.
- Sand contents in PPM [g/m³]
• Up to the highest level of the di­
- Temperature in °C
scharge pipeline in m.
- pH (acidity or alkanity value)
• Highest pressure in the pressure
Well type: tank or at the sprinklers in m.
- Type of well (bored, artesian, tank)
Characteristics of the pipeline:
- Depth in [m or ft].
- Total length - diameter
- Internal diameter at point where

pump will be installed.
- Number of elbows and val­ves

- Free discharge at ground level
- Single or three phases
- Discharge into an elevated tank
- Voltage value- Frequency
- Discharge into a pressure tank
- Voltage and frequency changes in
