max velocity in pipe 30''
max velocity in pipe 30''
(OP)
We have a crude tank with a 30'' valve at the exit. This line will be the suction of the pump.
My process engineer limit the velocity in the 30'' pump suction line at 4 ft/s.
What do you think ? It is to conservative. I read usually it is between 6 and 10 ft/s.
Thanks,
