Before calculating speed, you must define the total "wet" volume of your setup. In an Excel sheet, create a table to sum: Length πr2hpi r squared h for cylindrical tanks. Piping: Length and diameter of all connected lines.
The most widely used formula for determining the required pumping speed (S) is based on the system volume and the desired evacuation time:
