Flow at tee-way
Flow at tee-way
(OP)
Dear All,
Please see attached file, I would like to install tee way.
But I not sure what sould be the rule for flow velocity and what should be the proper size of D2.
My piping is
Flow in main pipe about 100 m3/hr.
D1 is 6 inches,
what is the proper size of D2.
At the end of small pipe I like to have about 40-50 m3/hr.
Many thanks in advance.

RE: Flow at tee-way
Therefore if you know the pressure at the tapping point you can calculate the D2 based on the pressure required to produce the flow rate of 40 -50 m3/hr thru this branch line.
I'm from the old school and would have to calculate it by trial and error - but today where is probably a computor programme to do it, maybe someone here can assist you.
Alternately, put in a line sufficient to handle the flow rate you need in conjunction with a conrol valve of some description and regulate to suit your requirements.
