We hydrotest all our lines 1.5x. So, if your operating pressure is 1000, then the calculated 1426 is within the prescribed hydrotesting pressure limits.
Parsec,
Yes indeed ... this is what we are trying to accomplish by adding a booster pump somewhere down the line.
I really assumed that this was a very simple problem but I guess life is full of surprises.
Again, I would like to thank all of you (BobPE and Mogens as well) for all your inputs...
Parsec/BobPE/Mogens,
Thank you all for your inputs. We have a meeting on this tomorrow and I feel that I am prepared to discuss the technical aspects of the issue.
Technically, we do not really expect an increase in the flow per se. The set up is like so:
*** At the shipping end, the pump...
We have a pump that moves oil products through a pipeline. To speed up the transfer operations, it was determined that a booster pump will have to be added. What are the parameters involved in determining where a booster pump will be optimally located?
Thank you for reading.
