Title: Valve sizing calculator
Post by: Ron Kyger on February 05, 2007, 09:12:17 PM: I had a customer ask if it would be possible to build a valve sizing/pump sizing calculator on our webpage. I think it would help with the comfort level of the distributors and some installers. Some of them are comfortable in sizing pumps and taking into account friction losses and differential pressures, but most aren't.

Could we build something that would ask for pump dead head pressure, flow, static & pumping water levels, and have it tell them which valve models would best fit the application.

Either that or a printable checklist that would guide them through the sizing. It would be another great tool to help our sales.

What I am finding is that there are a lot of inside salesmen who are very willing to sell our valves, but they are intimidated by the BASIC math required to figure out the sytem. If you don't do it every day it can be hard to remember the steps until you start selling a lot of them.

Speedbump, have you seen the Tank Size calculator and the Horse Power calculator? Karen did both of these, as well as the Valve calculator. She did good! I use them all the time.

I know this thread is over 2 years old... but I just now came across it for the first time. I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long! The javascript behind those calculators can be complicated.
