Oil flow velocity on the pressure side

(OP)
I've read the answer from Terry  http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=281534&tmac=fav&val=1,281534 "As a rule of thumb, engine oil passages should be designed for a maximum flow velocity of 20 ft/sec on the pressure side, and a maximum of 6 ft/sec at the pump inlet to prevent cavitation."

Good luck.
Terry

Is anyone know the reference?why he/she write like that?evidence by a handbook, manual or others!

RE: Oil flow velocity on the pressure side

"Introductory Hydraulics Handbook", Paul-Monroe Corp., section 1-19.
