hydraulic calculation

Document Type Information
Details and background about this document type.
Description
Calculations to indicate basis on which equipment is sized, including pipe friction losses, equipment elevations and terminal point static pressures. Includes 'net positive suction head' calculations and other steady state conditions. Also includes calculation of hydraulic surge (synonym 'water hammer') for the purpose of determining valve sizing, closing speed, etc.
