Conversion for maximum and minimum pressure in South African water reticulation

AI Thread Summary
The minimum pressure for water reticulation systems in South Africa is set at 24 meters, which translates to approximately 240 kPa. The maximum pressure allowed is 900 kPa. The discussion seeks assistance in converting these pressure measurements for a training manual for the waterworks department. The user is looking for the minimum pressure in kPa and the maximum pressure in terms of head. Accurate conversions are essential for effective water supply management.

Hi

The minimum pressure acceptable in South African water reticulation systems is 24m.

The maximum pressure acceptable is 900 kPa.

I need to write write a training manual for the waterworks department, and I need to know the minimum pressure in terms of kPa, and the maximum pressure in terms of head. Water is pulled from atmospheric pressure and supplied to users at at atmospheric pressure.

Could you please give me these pressures. Thanks a million!

Thread 'Is calling fictitious forces "not real" just about terminology?'

Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...

Thread 'Derivation of Hamilton's Principle: Questions'

I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
