I don't do the equivalent k-factor. I put the entire thing into the
calc file so I can better tweak it. If you are doing military, those
trench nozzles have to be 40-45 psi. That is a tight range, so you need
fine control over those.
If the balance point is on the suction side of the pump, then that is
just where you put it. I guess I am not seeing where the issue lies??
Sorry.

I've calculated them both. Then I plug the overhead system into the trench
as a k-factor. But I've never had to deal with the overhead being supplied
before the pumps. My calc program says they systems work together but the
graph looks like it would be way above the supply curve.

Subject: Balancing Systems
Any advice on balancing systems from a the same source when one is charged
with a fire pump and the other is not? I'm working on a AFFF hangar system
where the new trench system is charged by fire pumps and the existing
overhead is fed direct from the city supply on the opposite side of the
building.
