Definitions
  1. "PACKAGED PUMPING SYSTEM" refers to the pumps, motors, valves, manifolds and electric controls all factory assembled and wired on a steel skid plus any optional equipment such as a hydro-pneumatic tank.

  2. "SYSTEM PRESSURE" in PSIG is measured at the discharge connection of the booster system.

  3. "MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM SUCTION PRESSURE" in PSIG is measured at the inlet connection to the booster system and must take into account the city water main pressure or suction tank level MINUS losses for the water meter, backflow preventer, other building components on the suction side, suction pipe friction losses and any difference in elevation.

  4. "PUMP DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE REQUIRED" in PSI is the pressure added by the pump(s) at pump duty point and is the difference between minimum suction pressure and system pressure PLUS 5 PSI for the internal loss in the booster system.

  5. "PUMP SHUT OFF PRESSURE" in PSIG is the pressure added by the pump(s) at zero flow.

  6. "PUMP DUTY POINT" is the pump design capacity in GPM, and head in FT. or PSI.

  7. "SYSTEM CAPACITY" is the flow required to meet total peak demand in GPM.
