Re: Pipe Velocity

It depends on too many factors:

1. Gas or Liquid
2. Plant piping, gathering or transmission lines
3. Carbon steel line, fiberglass, or thermoplastic
3. Process: relief system, pump or compressor suction.
4. errosion velocity
5. Economic: the higher the velocity, the higher the pressure loss (smaller

pipe/valves), higher HP equipment downstream (more expensive). The lower the velocity, the lower the pressure drop (lower HP equipment downstream but higher cost for pipe/valves).
6. Company/owner requirement: most companie dictate velocity range for every service.

Cheers,

How do we decide the maximum velocity in a given diameter of pipe.
