    Pressure Booster Pump Hydraulic

    I think that the booster pump would decrease the pressure in the system because the booster pump would naturally provide more flow because of the increased pressure. However,the discharge of the boosted pressure runs through nozzles that spray the belt press belt to clean it, The whole idea is...

    Pressure Booster Pump Hydraulic

    I have a municipal plant water system of 600 gpm with 10 distribution points at various elevations. I need to put a booster pump in for a belt press washing system. I need to go from about 105 psi to 130 psi at 100 gpm. What will the pressure booster pump do to the rest of the system...

    ASME B16.5 versus AWWA C207 Flanges

    Thanks for the information. I was just reading the AWWA C207 and apparently the pressure for water piping were fairly low and the temperatures are ambient so AWWA started out with a flat face flange and it has generally stayed that way in the following years. I read that AWWA flanges are...

    AWWA C207 Versus ASME B16.5 flanges

    Application: Treated chlorinated water about 100 psi working pressure. I would like to know the correct application of flanges when joining a 4 inch steel flanged nozzle to a flanged steel butterfly valve. The butterfly valve would probably have a raised face. Is a ASME B16.5 Class 150...
