Thanks Brad,
Where in which book is that? I found in 24 of course the formula for acceptable
loss but couldn't reverse engineer it.
I'm just planning because some plumbers are working on a few leaky connections
but nothing to account for most of a pressure loss. I know it goes down as the
pressure drops. They are using a hand pump so I tried to calculate the amount
of pumps that had to occur to keep the pressure at 200 psi and use the info
from the pump to find how much per pump it put into the system. I think I'm
close but wanted to find a more exact formula.

Just a quick shot off the top of my head: 5 psi/.433=11.55 ft/144=.08 ft3*62.4
lb/ft3=5 lb of water/8.33 lb/gal= ~.6 gallon in 2 hours. Does that sound
right?!? I guess I could look at the book farther than + or - 5 psi (if I was
not busy doing my taxes).
Thanks, brad
