This document discusses hydraulic concepts related to pumping liquids. It defines nominal pipe size, different pipe schedules that have the same outer diameter but different inner diameters, and concepts like pumping stations, booster stations and storage tanks in pipe networks. It also covers affinity laws relating how pressure, flow rate and pipe size are related, the Reynolds number which expresses the ratio of fluid inertia to viscous forces, and formulas for calculating pump power based on flow rate, total dynamic head and pump efficiency.
