Maximum pressure of diesel fuel in contained pipeline

Maximum pressure of diesel fuel in contained pipeline

(OP)
Question: In a steel 4" pipeline, approximately 10' in length, valves shut, with residual diesel fuel in the pipeline, what is the maximum pressure that could be obtained in 100 degree weather?

RE: Maximum pressure of diesel fuel in contained pipeline

You need to know your start pressure and start temperature, but for the calculation see this http://www.eng-tips.com/faqs.cfm?fid=1339

Answer will be surprisingly high. I think from memory it is about 4-5 barg per degree C

Solar gain will give you much higher than 100F unless it is all in the shade.

Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.
