Determine velocity in ft/sec if flow through a 10" pipe is 722 GPM.
Standardized safety practices of lockout/tagout are used to disable _____ to prevent ______ during maintenance activities.
What is:
Machinery or Equipment
Accidental Release of Hazardous Energy
Calculated by subtracting the Base Flow from the Total Metered Flow during dry weather.
What is Infiltration?
Find the total head, in feet, for a pump with a total static head of 19 ft and a head loss of 3.7 ft.
What is 22.7'?
Total Head = Static Head + Losses
Total Head = 19 ft + 3.7 ft
Total Head = 22.7 ft

What is 3.62 ft/sec.
Two distinct parts in a magnetic starter.
What is:
Contacts
Overload Protection
A mixture of sand, cement, and water for rehabilitation purposes.
What is shotcrete?
The wastewater that flows out of a sanitary sewer or lift station as a result of the flow exceeding the hydraulic capacity of the sewer, or
