SIZING CALCULATIONS FOR SUMP PUMP AT SUMP PIT FOR PROPOSED ERECTION OF A

2 STOREY DETACHED DWELLING HOUSE WITH BASEMENT AND SWIMMING POOL ON LOT
1663T PARCEL B6A-5 MK 34 AT OCEAN DRIVE, SENTOSA COVE

CALCULATION OF DESIGN FLOW

Discharge Unit

Flow from reflective pool & rain water in basement = 2.0 lit/sec(estimated)

Design flow rate = 2.0 lit/sec

CALCULATION OF STATIC HEAD

Discharge level at open drain = 103.35

Sump pit level = 99.97

Static Head = 3.38

CALCULATION OF TOTAL HEAD

No. of dia. 50mm fittings Equivalent length (m)

Length of dia. 50mm pipe (approx) = 5.56

90 deg. Elbow 6 nos. (6 x 2.3) = 13.80
Gate valve 2 nos. (2 x 22) = 44.00
Check valve 2 nos. (2 x 11.5) = 23.00
Tee piece 1 no = 3.50

Total equivalent length of 50 dia. mm pipe 89.86

Flow Rate (lit/min) 50 100 150 200

Static Head (m) 3.38 3.38 3.38 3.38

Friction Head 50mm dia. 0.49 1.62 2.70 5.39

Total Head (m) 3.87 5.00 6.08 8.77
