In response to TD2K (chemical). The calculation that I am using is as follows.
First is finding the Reynolds number. Nr = 3162xQ / ud
Nr= Reynolds number
u = Viscosity in Cst (33.1) 3162 = constant
Q = flow rate (GPM)
d = ID (inches) of hose or tube
Second is finding the delta...
I have been trying to calculate the pressure drop at minus temperature using the standard pressure drop caculation through piping and hosing. What I am finding is that the calculation does not work with the Cst of mineral oil based fluids at temperatures below 32 degrees F down to -20 degrees...
