    Calculating pinhole leak rates through a pipe under pressue

    Thank you all for your in-depth analysis, and I'm also glad I could come up with an interesting problem. I ended up using an equation from Chemical Process Safety Fundamentals by Daniel Crowl (4-40), and double checking my results with dcastos's and mbeychok's equations, and was close enough...

    Calculating pinhole leak rates through a pipe under pressue

    I'm a little embaressed by the fact that I don't know how to do this, but as they say, "if you don't use it you lose it" I have a pinhole leak in a 12" pipe that is pressurized at around 300 psi and has a gas flow of approximtely 300,000 lbs/hr. I just need to come up with a conservative...

    GMP Training

    I tried searching the web for GMP training, and it is a little overwhelming. What would be a good place to train for somone who has zero experience with FDA/cGMP/USDA. I was thinking a 1 week seminar somewhere (US), etc. Any info or points in the right direction would be great. Thanks.
