Flow calculation through 3 holes that feed into another thru hole
Flow calculation through 3 holes that feed into another thru hole
(OP)
I am needing help to calculate the flow through this piece. I have attached a photo stating the question. Thanks for any help.

What's the fluid?
Are the dimensions in inches or mm or furlongs or what?
Do you have a curve for the pump or whatever induces the flow?

With a centrifugal pump, then the size of the holes WOULD determine the flow; but as Halloran says: we gotta see pump curve to go further.

40 GPM of drilling mud (a very heavy, viscous fluid) going through 3x 0.35 dia holes? You'd have troubling even getting 10 GPM through.

An additional problem here is the fluid. You must know its density and viscosity to do the calculations.
