Fluid velocity limit
(OP)
What is your recommandation for the maximum velocity of water in a stainless steel pipe?
What are the limitating phenomena (abrasing, pipe vibrations, ...)?
Thanks in advance

Above 8 FPS, other factors such as valve erosion may come into play. I am not a real expert as that stuff in a shoot from the hip way.

I am trying to increase flow capacity in a situation where an NPT fitting was used and there is not enough material on three sides of the boss to go to a larger pipe fitting. Fortunately on the fourth side I have room for the hold-down screw on a fitting of this type.
