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.
