Converting GPH to PSI

[ManTis]

Anyone know how to convert gallon per hour to PSI? Try to search for it online but I can't find any...

Please let me know
thanks
Michael

Dont think you can. GPH is flow while PSI is pressure.

Can't convert between the two, just like volts & amperes - they are measures of totally different things.

You would need the coefficient of friction.
To get this you would need the pipe size, length and how many 90 and 45 angles are there.
Look at the Reefcentral calculators and you should be able to figure it out.

I need to know how much PSI a Mag5 will give me at the end of a length of 3 feet 3\4" pipe. No 90 or 45 angles, just 3 feet going vertical.

Is that enough detail to help me get an answer. I know that I need to know to get the right coefficient but not sure how to get it.

Hope this help someone to help me get my answer...

thanks

The answer is 42

Wanna teach the kid how you did it at least?
Give a man a fish.....:P

42 is the answer to all of life's tough questions.

YES Minh, please teach me, I demand u to teach me...

Total losses are 3.47 feet of head pressure, or 1.5 PSI. with a flow rate of 339 GPH.

THANKS and Yes I got that on Reef Central calculator too, but I need to know the total PSI that is being delivered at the end of 3 feet.

The pump has a PSI rating of 4.5454 psi so based on the fact that it is 1.5 less at 3 feet that means it would be 3.0454.

Too damn complicated...

Can I ask where you find the PSI rating of the pump? Is there a site that post all of the PSI for every pump? IF so please let me know


thanks ALOT

I have no idea, if there is a website with all of them, but after doing a search here is one for the Mag Drives:
http://www.petsolutions.com/Mag-Driv...3+C100022.aspx

This site lists the PSI rating as a 4.8 though, so I am unsure if my other post was correct than. If PS.com is correct than the PSI would be 3.3.

edit: It looks like that website lists PSI for some of the pumps that are available.
