Example:
(A) 100 ft. of 2" plastic pipe with one (1) 90 elbow and one (1)
swing check valve.
90 elbow equivalent to
5.5 ft. of straight pipe
Swing check equivalent to 13.0 ft. of straight pipe
100 ft. of pipe equivalent to 100 ft. of straight pipe
118.5 ft. = Total equivalent pipe
Figure friction loss for 118.5 ft. of pipe.

65

(B) Assume flow to be 80 GPM through 2" plastic pipe.

1. Friction loss table shows 11.43 ft. loss per 100 ft. of pipe.
2. In step (A) above we have determined total ft. of pipe to be 118.5 ft.
3. Convert 118.5 ft. to percentage 118.5 100 = 1.185
4. Multiply
11.43
x 1.185
13.54455 or 13.5 ft. = Total friction loss in this system.

1. Boiler Horsepower equals 34.5 lb. water evaporated at and from 212F, and
requires feed water at a rate of 0.069 gpm.
Select the boiler feed pump with a capacity of 2 to 3 times greater than the
figures given above at a pressure 20 to 25% above that of boiler, because the
table gives equivalents of boiler horsepower without reference to fluctuating
demands.

1. For less than 25 fixtures, pump capacity should not be less than 75% of capacity
required for 25 fixtures.
2. Where additional water is required for some special process, this should be
added to pump capacity.
3. Where laundries or swimming pools are to be supplied, add approximately 10%
to pump capacity for either.
4. Where the majority of occupants are women, add approximately 20% to pump
capacity.

When using large standard galvanized tanks, a constant air cushion is required for
proper operation of the water system.
The illustrations show the percent of tank volume as related to the pressure gauge
reading. To determine the amount of water you will receive as drawoff from the
tank, you should subtract the smaller number from the larger number to get the
percentage. Then multiply by the size of the tank to get the gallons drawoff.
Example:
50 lbs. = 77.3
minus 30 lbs. = 67.2
= 10.1%
x 120 gallon size
(size of tank)
= 12.12 gallons

NET POSITIVE SUCTION HEAD (NPSH) AND CAVITATION

In an existing system, the NPSH Available can be determined by a
gage reading on the pump suction. The following formula applies:
NPSHA = PB - VP Gr + hV
Where Gr =Gage reading at the pump suction expressed in feet
(plus if above atmospheric, minus if below
atmospheric) corrected to the pump centerline.
hv = Velocity head in the suction pipe at the gage
connection, expressed in feet.
Cavitation is a term used to describe the phenomenon which occurs
in a pump when there is insufficient NPSH Available. The pressure
of the liquid is reduced to a value equal to or below its vapor
pressure and small vapor bubbles or pockets begin to form. As
these vapor bubbles move along the impeller vanes to a higher
pressure area, they rapidly collapse.
The collapse, or implosion is so rapid that it may be heard as a
rumbling noise, as if you were pumping gravel. The forces during
the collapse are generally high enough to cause minute pockets of
fatigue failure on the impeller vane surfaces. This action may be
progressive, and under severe conditions can cause serious pitting
damage to the impeller.
The accompanying noise is the easiest way to recognize cavitation.
Besides impeller damage, cavitation normally results in reduced
capacity due to the vapor present in the pump. Also, the head may
be reduced and unstable and the power consumption may be
erratic. Vibration and mechanical damage such as bearing failure
can also occur as a result of operating in cavitation.
The only way to prevent the undesirable effects of cavitation is to
insure that the NPSH Available in the system is greater than the
NPSH Required by the pump.

The Hydraulic Institute defines NPSH as the total suction head in

feet absolute, determined at the suction nozzle and corrected to
datum, less the vapor pressure of the liquid in feet absolute. Simply
stated, it is an analysis of energy conditions on the suction side of a
pump to determine if the liquid will vaporize at the lowest pressure
point in the pump.
The pressure which a liquid exerts on its surroundings is dependent
upon its temperature. This pressure, called vapor pressure, is a
unique characteristic of every fluid and increases with increasing
temperature. When the vapor pressure within the fluid reaches the
pressure of the surrounding medium, the fluid begins to vaporize or
boil. The temperature at which this vaporization occurs will
decrease as the pressure of the surrounding medium decreases.
A liquid increases greatly in volume when it vaporizes. One cubic
foot of water at room temperature becomes 1700 cu. ft. of vapor at
the same temperature.
It is obvious from the above that if we are to pump a fluid effectively, we must keep it in liquid form. NPSH is simply a measure of
the amount of suction head present to prevent this vaporization at
the lowest pressure point in the pump.
NPSH Required is a function of the pump design. As the liquid
passes from the pump suction to the eye of the impeller, the
velocity increases and the pressure decreases. There are also
pressure losses due to shock and turbulence as the liquid strikes the
impeller. The centrifugal force of the impeller vanes further
increases the velocity and decreases the pressure of the liquid. The
NPSH Required is the positive head in feet absolute required at the
pump suction to overcome these pressure drops in the pump and
maintain the liquid above its vapor pressure. The NPSH Required
varies with speed and capacity within any particular pump. Pump
manufacturers curves normally provide this information.
NPSH Available is a function of the system in which the pump
operates. It is the excess pressure of the liquid in feet absolute over
its vapor pressure as it arrives at the pump suction. Fig. 4 shows
four typical suction systems with the NPSH Available formulas
applicable to each. It is important to correct for the specific gravity
of the liquid and to convert all terms to units of feet absolute in
using the formulas.

To reverse rotation, interchange any two leads.

Phase 2 or B Yellow Motor Lead or T2
Phase 3 or C Red Motor Lead or T3
Notice: Phase 1, 2 and 3 may not be L1, L2 and L3.

A full three phase supply is recommended for all three phase

motors, consisting of three individual transformers or one three
phase transformer. So-called open delta or wye connections
using only two transformers can be used, but are more likely to
cause problems, such as poor performance overload tripping or
early motor failure due to current unbalance.
Transformer ratings should be no smaller than listed in Table 2 on
page 3 for supply power to the motor alone.

Checking and correcting rotation and current unbalance

1. Establish correct motor rotation by running in both directions.
Change rotation by exchanging any two of the three motor
leads. The rotation that gives the most water flow is always the
correct rotation.
2. After correct rotation has been established, check the current in
each of the three motor leads and calculate the current unbalance as explained in 3 below.
If the current unbalance is 2% or less, leave the leads as
connected.
If the current unbalance is more than 2%, current readings
should be checked on each leg using each of the three possible
hook-ups. Roll the motor leads across the starter in the same
direction to prevent motor reversal.
3. To calculate percent of current unbalance:
A. Add the three line amp values together.
B. Divide the sum by three, yielding average current.
C. Pick the amp value which is furthest from the average current
(either high or low).
D. Determine the difference between this amp value (furthest
from average) and the average.
E. Divide the difference by the average.
Multiply the result by 100 to determine percent of
unbalance.
4. Current unbalance should not exceed 5% at service factor load or
10% at rated input load. If the unbalance cannot be corrected by
rolling leads, the source of the unbalance must be located and
corrected. If, on the three possible hookups, the leg farthest from
the average stays on the same power lead, most of the unbalance is coming from the power source. However, if the reading
farthest from average moves with the same motor lead, the
primary source of unbalance is on the motor side of the starter.
In this instance, consider a damaged cable, leaking splice, poor
connection, or faulty motor winding.

Determining Water
Level
TECHNICAL DATA

Install 18" or 14" tubing long

enough to be 10' to 15' below
low water level. Measure the
tubing length as it is lowered
into the well.
Once the tubing is fixed in a
stationary position at the top,
connect an air line and
pressure gauge. Add air to
the tubing until the pressure
gauge reaches a point that it
doesn't read any higher. Take a
gauge reading at this point.
A. Depth to water
(to be determined).
B. Total length of air line
(in feet).
C. Water pressure on air
tubing. Gauge reads in
pounds. Convert to feet by
multiplying by 2.31.
Example:
If the air tube is 100' long, and
the gauge reads 20 lbs.
20 lbs. x 2.31 =46.2 ft.
Length of tube =100 ft.
minus 46.2 ft. =53.8 ft.
Depth to water (A) would
be 53.8 ft.

Tail Pipe
TECHNICAL DATA

HOW TO USE TAIL PIPE ON DEEP WELL JET PUMPS

Pipe below the jet, or tail
pipe as it is commonly
known, is used when you have
a weak deep well. Under
normal conditions, the jet
assembly with the foot valve
attached is lowered into the
well. You receive your rated
capacity at the level you locate
the jet assembly. On a weak
well, as the water level lowers
to the level of the foot valve
(attached to the bottom of the
jet assembly), air enters the
system. By adding 34' of tail
pipe below the jet assembly
with the foot valve attached to
the bottom of the 34' length of
pipe, it will not be possible to
pull the well down and allow
air to enter the system. The
drawing indicates the
approximate percentage of
rated capacity you will receive
with tail pipe.

Using a tail pipe, the pump

delivery remains at 100% at
sea level of the rated capacity
down to the jet assembly level.
If water level falls below that,
flow decreases in proportion to
drawdown as shown in the
illustration. When pump
delivery equals well inflow, the
water level remains constant
until the pump shuts off.
This rule can also be used
when determining suction pipe
length on shallow well
systems.

FULL PIPE FLOW CALCULATION OF DISCHARGE RATE USING HORIZONTAL OPEN DISCHARGE FORMULA
An L-shaped measuring square can be used to estimate flow
capacity, using the chart below. As shown in illustration, place 4"
side of square so that it hangs down and touches the water. The
horizontal distance shown A is located in the first column of the
chart and you read across to the pipe diameter (ID) to find the
gallons per minute discharge rate.
Example: A is 8" from a 4" ID pipe
= a discharge rate of 166 GPM.

Flow From Horizontal Pipe (Not Full)

Flow (GPM) = A x D x 1.093 x F

A = Area of pipe in square inches
D = Horizontal distance in inches
F = Effective area factor shown below
Area of pipe equals inside Dia.2 x 0.7854
Example:
D = 20 inches Pipe inside diameter = 10 inches
F = 212 inches
A = 10 x 10 x 0.7854 = 78.54 square inches
R = 212/10 = 25%
F = 0.805
Flow = 78.54 x 20 x 1.039 x 0.805 = 1314 GPM

CALCULATING SUCTION LIFT

Suction lift is measured with a vacuum gauge.
The gauge can be calibrated in feet suction lift
or inches vacuum.
A. 1 inch vacuum equals 1.13 feet
suction lift.

C. Atmospheric pressure of 14.7 x 2.31 =

33.9 feet which is the maximum suction lift at sea level.

A reading of 20" on a vacuum gauge placed on the suction

side of the pump would tell you that you had a vacuum or
suction lift of 22.6 feet.
20" x 1.13' = 22.6 feet
A vacuum gauge indicates total suction lift (vertical lift + friction
loss = total lift) in inches of mercury. 1" on the gauge = 1.13 ft. of
total suction lift (based on pump located at sea level).

very high vacuum (22 inches or more), this indicates that the end of
suction pipe is buried in mud, the foot valve or check valve is stuck
closed or the suction lift exceeds capability of pump.

RULE OF THUMB
Practical suction lift at sea level is 25 ft. Deduct 1 ft. of
suction lift for each 1000 ft. of elevation above sea level.

High Vacuum (22 inches or more)

Suction pipe end buried in mud
Foot valve or check valve stuck closed
Suction lift exceeds capability of the pump

Shallow Well System

Install vacuum gauge in shallow well adapter. When pump is
running, the gauge will show no vacuum if the end of suction pipe
is not submerged or there is a suction leak. If the gauge shows a

Low Vacuum (or 0 vacuum)

Suction pipe not submerged
Suction leak

The term head by itself is

rather misleading. It is
commonly taken to mean the
difference in elevation
between the suction level and
the discharge level of the liquid
being pumped. Although this
is partially correct, it does not
include all of the conditions
that should be included to give
an accurate description.
Friction Head:
The pressure expressed in lbs./
sq. in. or feet of liquid needed
to overcome the resistance to
the flow in the pipe and
fittings.

Suction Lift: Exists when

the source of supply is below
the center line of the pump.
Suction Head: Exists when
the source of supply is above
the center line of the pump.
Static Suction Lift:
The vertical distance from
the center line of the pump
down to the free level of the
liquid source.
Static Suction Head:
The vertical distance from the
center line of the pump up to
the free level of the liquid
source.

Static Discharge Head: The

vertical elevation from the
center line of the pump to the
point of free discharge.
Dynamic Suction Lift:
Includes static suction lift,
friction head loss and velocity
head.
Dynamic Suction Head:
Includes static suction head
minus friction head minus
velocity head.
Dynamic Discharge Head:
Includes static discharge head
plus friction head plus velocity
head.

Total Dynamic Head:

Includes the dynamic discharge
head plus dynamic suction lift
or minus dynamic suction
head.
Velocity Head: The head
needed to accelerate the
liquid. Knowing the velocity
of the liquid, the velocity head
loss can be calculated by a
simple formula Head = V2/2g
in which g is acceleration due
to gravity or 32.16 ft./sec.
Although the velocity head loss
is a factor in figuring the
dynamic heads, the value is
usually small and in most cases
negligible. See table.

TECHNICAL DATA

To illustrate the use of these laws, lets

look at a particular point (1) on a pump
curve (figure 1). The diameter of the impeller
for this curve is 6 inches. We
will
determine by the use of the Affinity Laws
what happens to this point if we trim the
impeller to 5 inches.
From the 6 inch diameter curve we
obtain the following information:
D1 = 6" Dia.
D2 = 5" Dia.
Q1 = 200 GPM Q2 = To be determined
H1 = 100 Ft.
H2 = To be determined
BHP1 = 3 HP
BHP2 = To be determined
The equations 4 through 6 above with
speed (N) held constant will be used and
rearranged to solve for the following:

CARGA TOTAL (H)

The affinity laws express the mathematical

relationship between several variables involved
in pump performance. They apply to all types of
centrifugal and axial flow pumps. They are as
follows:
Q
= Capacity, GPM
H
= Total Head, Feet
BHP = Brake Horsepower
N
= Pump Speed, RPM

Example:
Assume a requirement of 225 GPM at
160' of Head (point 2, figure 2). Note
this point falls between 2 existing
curve lines with standard impeller
diameters. To determine the trimmed
impeller diameter to meet our
requirement, draw a line from the
required point (point 2) perpendicular
to an existing curve line (point 1).
Notice point 1 has an impeller
diameter (D1) of 634" and produces
230 GPM (Q1) at 172' TDH (H1).

SIZING THE BOOSTER PUMP

Booster system pumps are sized the same as shallow well jet pumps with the exception being, we add the incoming city pressure to
what the pump provides. The required flow is determined by the number of bathrooms or number of fixtures being used at any given
time. City water is supplied under pressure, low incoming pressure is caused by undersized, crushed or severely corroded pipes or
large elevation differences, such as a hill, between the city water line and the house.
Verify the incoming pressure with the water flowing to find the dynamic suction pressure, static pressure is what you see with no
water flowing. Use the dynamic suction pressure to calculate pump performance and selection. The J5S and the high pressure
version, J5SH are very popular as booster pumps. The J5SH is a good choice for booster applications because of its narrow flow
range and higher pressure capability. In the absence of performance data for 0 we use the 5 Total Suction Lift performance data.
Add the incoming dynamic pressure to the pumps discharge pressure to find the total discharge pressure. Make a chart showing the
flow, incoming dynamic pressure, pump discharge pressure and total discharge pressure for each job. It would look like this if using
a J5SH pump with 15 PSI of incoming dynamic pressure:

TERMINAL BOARD AND VOLTAGE CHANGE PLUG

Screws with 14" drive: The
terminal screw accepts either a
1
4" nut driver or a slotted screw
driver.
Line Wire Connection: The
space under the screw will
accept #16, #14, #12, #10,
or #8 wire. The rib at the
bottom edge of the screw
allows the wire to be placed
straight into the space under
the screw. This rib retains the
wire under the head of the
screw and for #12, #10, or
#8 wire it is not necessary to
wrap the wire around the
screw.

A change has been made to

use a new terminal board on
the A.O. Smith two compartment motor models. This
terminal board is used on both
dual voltage and single
voltage motors.
FEATURES
Voltage Plug: Dual voltage
motors use a voltage plug that
retains the terminals for the
Black and Black Tracer leads.
To change voltage, lift the
black plug and align the arrow
with the desired voltage on
terminal board. See Figure 1
for an example of the dual
voltage connection diagram.

12 HP wired 115 V, 34 HP
and up wired 230 V at factory.
Quick Connect Terminals:
Each terminal has provision for
1
4" quick connect terminals in
addition to the screw.
Molded Plastic Material:
The terminal board is made
from an extremely tough white
plastic material with L1, L2,
and A markings molded into
the board.

Lead Channel: A channel

adjacent to the conduit hole
directs wiring to the top of
the board.
Governor Guard: An
integral backplate prevents
leads from entering the area
around the governor.
Ground Guard: To prevent
the bare ground wire from
touching the live L2 terminal,
the ground wire must be
placed above this guard.

VOLTAGE CHANGES ARE MADE INSIDE THE MOTOR COVER

NOT IN THE PRESSURE SWITCH.

WARNING:
DISCONNECT POWER SOURCE BEFORE CHECKING. DO NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES WITH POWER ON.

NOTE: The Class 16 starter chart shows the order number for matched coil and
load voltage, i.e. a 230 volt power supply with a 230 volt coil. To use a different
coil voltage select the same size starter with a different coil. For example a 15
HP/230 V motor/starter with a 460 V coil = 16BH. A 15 HP/460 V motor/starter
with a 230 V coil = 16BG.
