NOTES:
1. SUCTION LOSSES: Test pump was mounted on a 55 gallon drum of
oil, ½ full. A Sotera 1" suction pipe was used. A longer or smaller
diameter inlet pipe will lower the flow rate.
2. VERTICAL HEAD LOSSES: Test hose was horizontal with pump. Add
3 feet of hose for each 1 foot of vertical rise.
3. OTHER LOSSES: Elbows, quick-disconnects, swivels, and check
valves in outlet or inlet hoses will restrict the flow. Add the
estimated length of hose for each component used.
