    Suction/discharge pressures

    Thanks for that link Montemayor, it has been very useful, and I haven't got to read all of the advice yet! One thing that is apparent though - is that I should be using a positive displacement pump such as a three screw design for transferring oil between tanks. There is less information about...

    Suction/discharge pressures

    More help please! If I have a pump connected to the outflow of some storage tanks (which have a height of 10m) does this head pressure relate to the suction pressure for pump selection, or is this going to be zero as it is not forced? Also, how do you calculate discharge pressure - I hope you...
