3 FORCE WEIGHT OF WATER MEASURED IN POUNDS PRESSURE = FORCE PER UNIT AREA WEIGHT PER UNIT AREA

4 PRESSURE (PSI) = FORCE (LBS) / AREA (IN 2 ) P (PSI) = F (LBS) / A (IN 2 ) F P A

5 FORCE (LBS) = PRESSURE (PSI) X AREA (IN 2 ) F (LBS) = P (PSI) X A (IN 2 ) F P A

10 ONE CUBIC FOOT OF WATER FORCE = WEIGHT = 62.4 LBS PRESSURE (PSI) = FORCE (LBS) / AREA (IN 2 ) P (PSI) = F (LBS) / A (IN 2 ) P (PSI) = 62.4 LBS 1 FT 2 X 144 IN 2 /FT 2 P (PSI) = 62.4 LBS 144 IN 2 = PSI

11 P = PSI FOR ONE FOOT OF DEPTH PRESSURE DEPENDS HEIGHT OR DEPTH OF WATER DIAMETER OR AREA IS IRRELEVANT IF YOU DOUBLE THE DIAMETER OF A RESERVOIR OR CLARIFIER BUT THE DEPTH REMAINS THE SAME THE PRESSURE DOES NOT CHANGE

12 Dia = 30 feet Height = 20 feet

13 Height = 20 feet Dia = 30 feet Dia = 150 feet

14 F = Weight = Vol (gal) x 8.34 (lbs/gal) = A (ft 2 ) x H (ft) x 7.48 gal/ft 3 x 8.34 lb/gal = A (ft 2 ) x H (ft) x 62.4 lb/ft 3 A (in 2 ) = A (ft 2 ) x (144 in 2 /ft 2 ) P (psi) = F (lbs) / A (in 2 ) P = A (ft 2 ) x H (ft) x 62.4 lb/ft 3 A (ft 2 ) x (144 in 2 /ft 2 ) P = (psi/ft) X H (ft)

21 STATIC PRESSURE PIEZOMETRIC SURFACE DEPENDENT ON WATER DEPTH (HEIGHT) HEAD PRESSURE HEAD ELEVATION HEAD DYNAMIC PRESSURE FRICTION LOSS

22 DEFINITION THE HEAD, PRESSURE OR ENERGY (SAME THING) LOST BY WATER FLOWING IN A PIPE AS A RESULT OF TURBULENCE CAUSED BY THE VELOCITY OF THE FLOWING WATER AND THE ROUGHNESS OF THE PIPE OR RESTRICTIONS CAUSED BY FITTINGS.

23 AKA SMOOTHNESS C-FACTOR HIGHER C-FACTOR SMOOTHER PIPE GREATER CARRYING CAPACITY SMALLER FRICTION LOSS C-FACTOR MAY DECREASE AS PIPE AGES PIPE DEPOSITS TUBERCULATION

26 INCREASING VELOCITY INCREASES FRICTION LOSS Q = A x V V = Q / A FLOW IF FLOW INCREASES VELOCITY INCREASES AREA IF AREA DECREASES VELOCITY INCREASES DIAMETER IF DIAMETER DECREASES VELOCITY INCREASES

27 MAJOR LOSSES AKA FRICTION LOSSES LOSSES IN THE PIPE MINOR LOSSES LOSSES DUE TO FITTINGS

28 HYDRAULIC GRADE = ELEVATION HEAD + PRESSURE HEAD

29 H.G. HYDRAULIC GRADE H.G. PSI HEAD PSI HEAD ELEVATION HEAD SEA LEVEL ELEVATION HEAD

30 HYDRAULIC GRADE = ELEVATION HEAD + PRESSURE HEAD EQUIVALENT TO THE ELEVATION OF THE WATER SURFACE IN A RESERVOIR
