Flow reducer after a pump
Flow reducer after a pump
(OP)
It's been a long time since i had to calculate something like that so i need your help once more.
I've got a 38GPM hydraulic pump with 1 inch outlet that goes through a 1" to 5/64" fitting. What would be the GPM out of this reducer?
Thanks.

Maybe you can post a diagram of your system.

It is the hydraulic system of rear-end garbage truck. The 1" hose goes to a valve that has 1 inches outputs. We wanted to limit the speed of an hydraulic accessory, so we put a restriction on the output of this valve. It does have a recirculating loop by the way.
It works perfectly, we managed to limit the speed of the accessory with the reducer, but now the client wants us to add velocity fuses. That is why i need to calculate the GPM/speed through the reducer to find the proper velocity fuse.
Thank you!
