However pipe and tubing are not the same materials! Pipe was originally used for the movement of water, and therefore the ID (inside diameter) was the critical dimension. The nominal dimension for pipe is the ID. So, 1½ inch pipe is NOT 1½ inch outside diameter, but instead is ...
System Capacity Planning:Engineers must calculate the required flow rate to meet system demands, such as HVAC systems or water supply networks. Selection of Pump and Components:Accurate flow rate calculation is crucial for selecting the right pump and sizing the piping and other components. Energy E...
There are many tools available to help you with compressed air pipe sizing. You can calculate your pipe size requirements using a formula. You can also find tables online that show the CFM ratings of compressed air through traditional pipe based on PSI and distance. When calculating compressed ...
Using water mist to protect items from fire consumes less water than traditional fire sprinkler systems. To achieve the small droplet size, however, the system requires a high pressure water supply. Brian O’Connor from the National Fire Protection Association explains these systems and their various...
While you can use a component object to model the effect of an orifice in a system, if you already know the flow rate and pressure drop characteristics of the orifice for a range of flow rates, there is no automatic reverse procedure to calculate the size of the orifice in Pipe Flow Exp...
By using a slip fitting in the sump (without glue), you’ll be able to remove the intake screen for cleaning or point the elbow down toward the base of the sump. The water pump can be hard-piped into the bulkhead with PVC pipe or flexible tubing and hose barbs. You can glue th...
and a bathroom scale to find out the tongues weight. Its much the same for multi-roller trailers without keel rollers, except that youll be making the appropriate adjustments with the roller packs on the outside of the trailer. ACCOUNT, Find Ropes, Boat Meters, Marine Electrical Panels In ...
Properly sizing an air receiver tank for custom stationary applications is complex and should be done by a qualified engineer. These air receiver tanks need to be sized according to the volume and pressure variations in air consumption (i.e., demand), air compressor size, pipe or hose size ...
To estimate the leakage in your compressed air system, take measurements that determine the time it takes for the compressor to load and unload. Air leaks will make the compressor cycle on and off because of pressure drops caused by leaks. Calculate the percentage of total leakage by using the...
(ACVG) survey, has the advantage of being able to determine the defect location and calculate its size. Having an approximate way of sizing the defects can help the pipeline operator in prioritizing defect repair and scheduling which defects are in need of repair first — and thus increase the...
