Project Name: Booster Pump Calculations

This document contains calculations for sizing a booster pump system for a building. It determines that a single 120 GPM pump is needed to boost pressure by 55 PSI to provide a total system pressure of 63 PSI at the top outlet of the building, which is 80 feet high. The calculations account for static head, piping friction loss, and pressure requirements of fixtures to size a pump with a capacity of 120 GPM and 127 total dynamic head.
