5. BLM National Training Center Steps in the design, Solution one: 1.Plot the profile of the proposed pipeline. 2.Determine where the most critical point (CP) in the pipeline is located for minimum pressure. 3.Determine where the most critical point (CP) in the pipeline is located for the maximum pressure. 4.Select a test pipe size. 5.Plot the hydraulic grade line (HGL), start at your CP for minimum pressure and plot both directions. Evaluate your pipe selection. Repeat if necessary. And finalize the pipe size and pressure rating. 6.Calculate static pressure at all CP points. 7.Calculate the Total Dynamic Head (TDH) so that you can size a pump. 8.Size the pump. 9.What is the cut-in and cut-out head/pressure? 10. Size the pressure tank.
