Flow control manifold
Flow control manifold
(OP)
We have a flow control manifold with three parallel branches with two branches having actuated plug valves on them and the third with a manual ball valve on/off. We use this to test centrifugal pumps at various points on the curve. The larger pumps flow around 2500 GPM at BEP. The fluid velocity through the manifold is around 45 fps at this flowrate. I know this is on the high side, but does anyone have experience with fluid velocities this high and the long-term impacts?

If your worried about certain areas of your manifold washing out, inspect dimensionally or UT for thickness.

Get sonic and anticavitation trims.
And might as well buy the replacement parts for stock now too.
