Building Pressure Sizing Instructions

This document provides instructions for using a sizing program to determine building pressure requirements, fixture unit flow rates, pump selection, and header sizing for a booster system. The instructions explain how to fill out sections of the program to input building details, fixture counts, and desired flows. Section outputs include total pressure requirement, required flow rate, estimated pump horsepower and flow division for multiple pumps, and required header size.

Sizing Program Instructions:

Under the worksheet banner, place job name and customer name. The date will automatically show when you print the document.

To determine Building pressure requirements use Section I


1. 2. 3. 4. Fill in pressure requirements at the top most fixture in A Use Tab feature to reach B and insert in feet anticipated building height Tab to next fill point E and insert anticipated suction pressure at the unit. The program will provide total pressure requirement for the building in feet of head (TDH)

Section II Fixture Unit table


In the appropriate box, fill in the number of fixture units for each. After finishing, the program will provide the amount of units needed for the building and determine the flow rate In Section IV place the number 1 in the appropriate section then find the flow rate under the type of building you require. This section will give the building flow requirements and divide it into various flows depending upon the number and type of pumps you plan to use for the booster system. The horsepower is estimated. To insure correct horsepower refer to pump type and actual pump efficiency. To determine Bhp at design use the formula (Bhp = GPM x TDH x Specific Gravity/ 3960 x pump efficiency) (Specific gravity of water = 1)

Section VI
This is the header size required for the booster system based upon the system flow rate. After accumulating the flow and head requirements, save the document to your hard drive using the Save AS feature under File in the upper left portion of your program menu. When you are asked if you want to save the document, either Save As or answer No.
