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
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.
