water flow at certain pressure

water flow at certain pressure

water flow at certain pressure

(OP)
Hi

I have a pipe dn 20 in which the pressure is 6 bar. When I open the valve at the end of the pipe how much water will flow from it? How to calculate? are the anny practical figures for this?

regards

RE: water flow at certain pressure

For flow of any fluid there must be some differential pressure required. In your case when you open the valve, there will be some pressure drop in the pipe and your outlet is at atmospheric pressure. so find out the differential pressure. Check the website http://www.triflotech.com/liquid.html which will give you calculator for calcuating flow.

RE: water flow at certain pressure

If it's just ambient water and only 20 mm diameter and 6 bar, catch it in a bucket or drum over a certain time and measure the flow rate.

Good luck,
Latexman

RE: water flow at certain pressure

I adhere to Latexman's practical advice. In particular if the line pressure comes down upon opening the valve at the pipe's end.
