caustic solution piping
caustic solution piping
(OP)
I have to design piping system for 40% caustic solution at 25C,i take caustic solution from mixing vessel at 2m^3/h with the velocity of 1m/s,then diameter of pipe become 2.6cm which is i very small i guess.What is recommended velosity and diameter for this process ?

Technically, the glass is always full - 1/2 air and 1/2 water.

The 1m/sec is a typical flow rate for chemicals. You want to keep the flow rate between 1 to 2.5 m/sec. If you want, move down to the next pipe size.
