Pump Case Pressure
« on: August 03, 2017, 04:41:49 PM »
I have a CSV1A with a bypass of 3 GPM set to 65 PSI. The pump is a Goulds 18GS30. The pressure switch is set at 50/70 and the tank is 86 gal. The pump curve shows 0 GPM at 600 TDH or about 3 gallons at about 585' TDH. The static water level is 262'. The pipe from the pump is 1.25 schedule 80 PVC with a rating of 260 PSI stamped on the side. I understand the pressure at the CSV would be (585-262)/2.31=139.8 PSI. Is the pressure at the pump case 585/2.31=253 PSI because the weight of the 262' of water?  If this is correct is it safe to operate the pipe at that pressure?

Yes it will be fine.  You are not even at the max pressure rating for the pipe, and pipe has a burst pressre 2 to 5 times the rated pressure.
