Maximum Velocity in Rubber Lined Pipes
Maximum Velocity in Rubber Lined Pipes
(OP)
Hello there,
What are the basic guideline velocities for rubber lined pipes?
We have an application where we are pumping water through rubber lined pipes, what are acceptable velocities?
Regards
Laurence Sachs

I am speaking from the pump suppliers point of view, our customer has requested rubber lined piping, I unfortunately do not know why they have decided to do this. They are pumping clean water???
We have just had a discrepancy of our 'acceptable' pipe velocities through the pipes. I am refurring to the piping within the pump where we have had anything up to 4.6m/s before.
It is piping of between 500 and 700mm in Diameter.
