Need info on deep well pumps

[johncastilloemtp]

Hello I am Sgt Castillo, I am stationed in Afghanistan and I was wondering if you could provide us with math figures on how to determine an appropriate well pump size for a PVC pipe with an inner diameter of 8 inches to a depth of 1200 feet, and enough flow rate for

120 people to handle basic facilities.

could you also give us the table information so we can figure this out for diffrent well sizes casing's and depth. Please

or could you please point us in the right direction Thanks

FM 5-484, MULTISERVICE PROCEDURES FOR WELL-DRILLING OPERATIONS Chapter 4.

You'll probably want TM 5-81301 (WATER SUPPLY SOURCES AND GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS) too.

How did you get to be a Sgt, without knowing to check for training documents first? If you're halfway lucky, you can spend your entire career without ever being asked to do anything that's not explained in the FMs.

I expect that it's because the forces are overstretched and non- specialists are being forced into roles (in this case well drilling) that they weren't trained for.

[Goedjn]

Well, yeah, but that's kind of my point. It's not that I expected him to know how to drill a well, it's that I expected him to know that, pretty much anything the army asks you to do, there's a FM for it. If you've got access to alt.home.repair, you've probably got access to

Somewhere in there, they've probably got directions for how to take a shower, as well as six different ways to build one.

Yep. I would expect any NCO to know about the FMs. I was in AF but we had a shelf of army FMs for some reason at one station. I would browse through them when pulling CQ - interesting reading.
