Pipeline hydraulics
Pipeline hydraulics
(OP)
I am an EIT (mechanical) just starting out at a new job, I am looking to gather the best resources for getting up to speed in "pipeline hydraulics": pump selection, design, surge analysis,relief calcs, friction loss, hydraulic gradients etc. anyone have any ideas? would be nice to find a book that has lots of examples and sample problems, not just theory.





RE: Pipeline hydraulics
You can start with "Crane Fluid Flow Examples in MS" by Art Montemayor. It is a very good and handy technical paper.
Download it here http://www.cheresources.com/invision/files/file/267-crane-fluid-flow-examples-in-ms-excel/
Good luck!

It can be ordered online here for US$60:
Crane TP-410
I've used Crane TP-410 for over 30 years.
Good luck,

There is also "Pipeline Rules of Thumb" which everyone eventually buys, but no one actually uses (worthless index, terrible organization, and some questionable calcs).Crane Technical Paper #410
GPSA Field Engineering Data Book
Cameron Hydraulics
Marks handbook (least useful and most expensive of the list, but sometimes it is the only option)
Those would do you well for a career.
