The Professional Engineer - The Hexagon

                                   بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيْم S alam Syawal, My mistakes in this posting is of my own.  Allah SWT is Perfection. I only have the best of intentions. The opinion put forth here is personal.  All that are beneficial comes only from Allah SWT.  SubhanAllah Walhamdulillah.  For submitting persons defined under the latest amendment of the SBDA 1974, the submitting engineer shall be a Professional Engineer with Practicing Certificate (PE-PC).

Safety Factor Might Not Be Safe - Story of the Flow, Head and Running Amps

Safety Factor Might Not Be Safe Salam, I know all of you Mechys and Civils here have seen this chart. It tells you a bunch of stuff. One of the most important stuff would be how flow, Q increases with the lowering of the head, H, and vice versa along the pump curve. The power input to the pump, P2 increases with the increase in Q. If you oversize the H in the design, the actual H during operation will be lower than the H at the red dot there. Oversizing H is caused the fear that your pressure may be inadequate. So you put in a high safety factor (SF) to total pipe length (straight pipe length + equivalent length), static head difference and residual pressure. But in actual operation, the H is much lower, (one of the reasons being that the pipe is new) which causes the Q to increase (follow the pump curve line to the right). See what happens to the power curve in the chart below the pump curve. There is an increase in P2. In the post earlier, what happened during T&C was...
