    Progressive Cavity Pump Surging

    Hi Stanier, The discharge piping on a PC pump vibrating can be a sign of the head pressure reaching its max for the volume. If you can put a pressure gauge on the outlet of the pump you can see if the pressure is bouncing because of air in the line or increasing due to viscosity changes. The...

    Sewage force main freeze potential

    If the MUA is requiring you to insulate all pipe above the 48" frost line, then you have to insulate. Use the heat transfer rate of uninsulated 4" pipe and you minimum ambient temperature, probably -40 deg F. Your will find that your pipe will freeze.

    corrosion data for materials in a nutrient waste / plant waste blend

    To determine the corrosive resistance of animal wates you have to break it down into is parts and check an chemical resistance chart for the specific parts. If you pump this, the viscosity increase, increases the wear on the pipe and this is were you may get most of your wear

    I Need Help....... Can anyone te

    Consider using a residual oxygen probe, and this figure will fill work with your flow meter but I think you need to have a density (mass flow) to get the information your looking for.
