Pump Head Calculation Guide

The document outlines the transfer pump head calculation for a roof tank with a storage capacity of 15 m3 and a filling time of 2 hours. It details the filling rate, pipe specifications, and friction losses, resulting in a total head loss of 42.85 ft of water gauge. The calculations include both formula-based and chart-based pipe sizing methods, confirming a selected pipe size of 40 mm.
