58% sulfuric acid flow rate
Thread Content
I checked some information and found that the maximum flow rate for 98% sulfuric acid is 1.2 m/s; so what is the flow rate for 58% sulfuric acid?
Between 1.2 and 3, as 3 represents the most economical flow rate for liquids
This is also related to the temperature at which the liquid is transported; in addition, it’s important to keep the pressure drop under control. Generally, the pressure drop over 100 meters at the pump outlet for liquids is around 30 KPa. Each case needs to be analyzed on its own
I want to know the maximum value; just like the maximum flow rate of 98 acid, which is 1.2
I usually keep the fluid flow at around 1.5 m/s. It ensures there is enough headroom for increased traffic in the future, without wasting pipes.
That’s the principle, but different media have varying effects on pipes, so the maximum flow velocity also differs
What was said on the 7th floor makes a lot of sense. In other words, 58% sulfuric acid does not face the issue of a maximum flow rate similar to that of concentrated sulfuric acid; for concentrated sulfuric acid that causes corrosion and abrasion on pipes, this applies mainly when the concentration is above 80%, at which point the maximum flow rate should not exceed 1.22 m/s. So, you can boldly use the flow rate values from the 7th floor for preliminary calculations. Of course, it still holds true that the pressure drop over 100 meters needs to be controlled; when the pipe diameter is small, the flow rate should also be kept low.
