Max. flow rate?
Max. flow rate?
(OP)
Is there a practical limit to the flow rate I can get through a 1"OD x 0.156"Wall tubing?
This tubing is intended to circulate coolant at 20 to 60 psi. The tubing length is proposed to be ~50 ft.

Good luck,

What would a safe limit for flow rate in this situation may be considering the pump sizing etc.?

Is there is a formula that will help me compute max flow rate through a given size of tubing?
Thanks

with a flow of 60 GPM you might see velocities of around 50 ft/s, which is around 8x what it should normally stay around.

the only other limit i can see is the sonic velocity of the fluid.
i dont understand your constraint on collapse pressure though...

The other option would be to use a cooling jacket around the vessel although that can get expensive depending on the vessel size.

OP indicated, in the first post, that he intends to circulate coolant at 20 to 60 psi.

The pump output pressure should be more like 130 psi for 10 gpm.

Can you tell me how you calculated this please ?
