temperature in the pipe system is 85°F. For the purpose of initial pipe size selection, the velocity of water in the pipe is assumed at 7ft/s. 2. The pump is the centrifugal type. 3. Pipe material is steel, schedule 40. All connections are flanged. 4. Length of the pipe as shown with six 90° regular elbows, three gate insolation valves, one swing check valve, one strainer (K = 3.0). 5. In the storage tank, the gauge pressure 28 inches of mercury. 6. Pressure drop from the tank connection to the storage is 3.2 psig.
