Determine pump spec necessary to overcome leak

[QUOTE="jrmichler, post: 6828597, member: 638574"] I have been in very similar situations. The realistic option for an engineer in that position is to do a complete concept design for two alternatives. Each concept design will include a properly sized pump and properly sized lines and hoses, with budget prices. The budget costs should be broken down to major components, not just one total summary cost for each system. Any motor more than about 5 hp should include the cost of the starter, necessary wiring, disconnect, and circuit breaker. Larger motors can have significant costs for necessary electrical changes, and those changes can go all the way to the main plant entrance panel. The engineer needs to check this. Ask me how I know this. And never underestimate the bullheadedness of an authoritarian manager who demands that it be done his way. Again, ask me how I know this. This is absolutely correct. And expect it to take more than just this evening. BTDT. [/QUOTE]
