Introduction

This document discusses how to size a pump.
- Equations
- Parameters

This is a nice technical bulletin from AICHE, for those who are interested in Engineering and Sizing.

Supporting Tool

Line Sizing Tool is a tool to calculate the pressure drop and velocity through piping. This will help in sizing your pump.
