    Acceleration Head formulae

    Hi Guys, From the acceleration head formulae, Ha = LvnCSg / 2.31Kg (ft) is the "L", just the the total length of pipe from suction tank to pump suction flange? Or ‘equivalent length of straight pipe factoring all the friction loses on elbows, Tee joints, valves & fittings etc’. I don't get any...

    Acceleration Head in AODD Pumps

    Hi Folks. I need your advise. Does using (Inlet stabilizer / surge suppressor / tranquilizer / pulsation dampener) on the suction side of the pump reduces the calculated acceleration head? If Yes, can we quantify it by using any equation / formulae?
