ram pump pressure
« on: March 28, 2006, 09:14:37 PM »
can anybody give me an estimate as to what the water pressure would be when leaving the pump to go uphill through the delivery pipe.

i have 10ft. fall and 15 liters/second flow?


is there a formula which might help?


thank you

Usually a ram will pump to 20 times the drive head so your maximum pressure would be about 200ft head but for reasonable efficiency about half that.


What has changed from your last post when you were looking at heads from 1 ft to 4 ft.
