Chemical pipeline design
Thread Content
Do you know anyone who works in chemical pipeline design? I have a question regarding pipeline design that I need advice on. It is a natural gas transmission pipeline with a diameter of DN200; there is a section in the middle where the diameter becomes DN50, and the length of this section is around 15 meters. Will the flow rate change? The pressure before reaching the DN50 section is 60 kPa. I would appreciate your advice, friends
The flow rate won’t change much; the pressure drop will be slightly higher compared to using pipes with a diameter of 200. What was the flow rate before you changed the pipe diameter?
