I built a spreadsheet to determine the flow and everything through a pump. I won't get involved with the first part just assume it to be correct and the gallon per hour/minute calculations are correct.

After that I have a hose with a 1/4" I.D. I was able to calculate velocity with hose diameter and GPM. Then pressure...I used the formula found here but the result seems very low. It doesn't seem impossible but I just want to know it isn't bogus. I mean does 2.85 gallons really flow through a 1/4" hole in a minute with only 1.3psi?
That brings up the dynamic vs static pressure thing that I don't completely understand. I am simply trying to find how much pressure is required to satisfy the required flow rate... so I'm not sure where static/dynamic ties into that.
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks
