Heavy Oil Pipe Sizing
Heavy Oil Pipe Sizing
(OP)
Are any rules of thimb for sizing pipework for heavy oil applications.
I know that in general liquid flows pipes are usually sized to keep the flow velocity between 2 and 4 m/s. Does this still hold for high viscosity fluids (up to 8000 cP!)
Cheers,
Neil
