Pa= atmospheric press absolute,== 34 ft
Pf= min press at tank, equal to the fill press plus static press at tank ,
ft of water plus absolute (34)
Po= max press at tank, ft of plus absolute (34)
re check your total system vol with pump's flow rate formular
a water columne of 120 M heigth would have a press of 173 psi, in order for the water
to reach the top of the building your pump need to put out at least 173 psi.

Calculating the Pressure Tank Size

Pressure Tank Size Formula is given as follows :

Drawdown volume
cut-out pressure - cut-in pressure
size = ( )
cut-out pressure + 1

from the tank before the pump starts.

250 x Q
Drawdown in liters =
I

250 x Q x (cut-out pressure + 1)

Tank size in liters = ( )
I x ( cut-out pressure - cut-in pressure )

Where : Q is the average pump flow in m3/h

I is the number of starts/stops per hour.
cut in & cut out : pressure is indicated in bars.
Input Pump name, Model , and data here !!
Data : Pump type & model :

Motor power rating P= 15 kw

Number of starts/stops I = 20 1/h ( from pump manufacturer )
Average pump flow Q= 3 m3/h
cut in pressure = 1.5 bar
cut out pressure = 3 bar

250 x 3. x ( 3. + 1 )
Tank size in liters = ( ) = 100 liters
20. x ( 3. - 1.5 )
The available standard size is : 100 liters

Recommended tank size is : 100 liters

Note :
The standard sizes of pressure tanks are : 25; 60; 100; 200; 300; 500; 750; 1000 and 2000 liters.
