Step 1: General variables for calculations that normally should not be changed.
Pipe Friction Coefficient - λ
or
Value is required
Enter a valid number
Density of Fluid - ρf
or
lb/ft3
Value is required
Enter a valid number
Step 2: Enter the amount of flow needed and the size of piping.
Required Flow
gal/min
Value is required
Enter a valid number
Hydraulic (inside) Diameter - dh
or
in
Step 3: Calculation of pressure loss based on the length of piping, elbows, and elevation the water is pumped (lift).
Total Length of Straight Pipe - l
ft
Value is required
Enter a valid number
Qty 90º Elbows
Equal Length:
ft
Qty 45º Elbows
Equal Length:
ft
Lift
ft
Value is required

Step 4: Based on the above information, this is the quantity of Infusinator™ nozzles that should be installed and minimum recommended pump capacity. The higher the pressure, the more water and air the nozzle will produce, but also requires more energy.
Pressure at Nozzle
psi
Qty of Infusinator™ Nozzles
Pump must produce at least
9.5 gpm with
5.1 ft (2.2 psi) of vertical head pressure.
Air injected is approx.
0.2 cfm (at an approx. depth of
10 inches)
