Pump . Net    November 2009 this site seems to have closed but worth checking

"Pump.Net is a pump engineer's toolbox of information. When this site is complete it will be a huge database detailing all aspects of pump engineering, from water friction to pipe and fitting dimensions. It is provided as a free service to the industry and as a means of sharing information and findings between the many professionals in the pump fields."
