	I have been looking for some information for the split case pump curve data's including the flow, the motor capacity and the dimension of the pump. But I would not find it in the internet. If anyone have these drawing or data's, please let me know. The following is the some of the pump data's that I can provide. Flow rate Q= 95.4m3/hr (1.59 m3/min) Head H = 120m (12bar) I need to have the pump piping dimension for suction and discharge side, the height of the centerline of the pump, Motor dimension and the Motor HP. I need these information for designing water pump system for my Fire Hydrant system of my new plant. Actually, the full capacity of the flow rate is 1260 USGPM but I split it to 3 pump so that I don't have the problem with the starting amps of the motor. The initial design was using one motor of 185KW to run the pump for the 1260 USGPM flow rate. I am an Electrician and not a mechanical personal.

	A single pump to do that will have something like a 6" inlet and a 4" outlet, and will have a motor somewhat larger than 33kW, for a first stab at it. Try talking to some fire pump manufacturers in those terms. Consider also the effect of losing the electrical supply on the operation of the deluge system during the fire. It may be that a dedicated diesel-driven fire pump installation would be a better option. __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856
