The inlet of a centrifugal water pump is 2.3 m above the free surface from which it draws. The inlet consists of 4 m of 5.08 cm schedule-40 steel pipe (inside diameter = 52.50 mm) and contains one long-radius elbow and one check valve. The discharge line is 5 08 cm schedule-40 steel pipe and includes two long-radius elbows and an 27 m nun. The discharge is 6.3 m above the free surface. All components are regular screwed. The water temperature is 21C (u = 0.9827 x 1o- Pa sec).
