Distance from discharge flange to 90 dgr bend
Distance from discharge flange to 90 dgr bend
(OP)
Hello pump spesialists
We will instal a horizontal ballast pump with capasity of 1500 m3/hr at 23 mtr head, pumping sea water.
The suction pipe is 20" and discharge is 16".
The hight from the discharge flange to the roof is 0.90 mtr. I remember reading somewhere that there is a required distance from the discharge flange with straight pipe before you should connect the bend.
Can anyone here advise what that distance should be?
thanks in advance

Please remember that the same people that tell you
"That there is a required distance from the discharge flange with straight pipe before you should connect the bend"
Are the same people that tell you that mathematically a Bumble Bee cannot fly.

hihi, See your point
Mathematically you need it, but in practice it will not make a difference.
