Hello!
Could you please settle a dispute between a couple coworkers and me? Is is possible to add enough pipe to the discharge side of a pump such the pump would no longer be able to overcome the friction losses in the pipe and flow would stop? Depending on the diameter of the pipe, it might be a very long pipe.

Thank you .
