Pipeline Drying

[Markoni]

Hello,

I am trying to correlate the time required to dry a pipe using dry air to factors such as air flow rate, air temperature, pipe length, pipe diameter etc. I know that the pipe inner wall conditions are a major factor so assume that brush pigging has already been performed and the inside is clean.

Cheers

There is a pipeline forum. Try searching that, and/or posting there.
