Process pipe diameter selection?
Thread Content
This is HGT 20570.6-95 \"Pipe Diameter Selection\"; can the formula in the first diagram be used to calculate the pipe diameter for saturated steam?
Medium, pressure (resistance), flow velocity, flow rate! ! !
Saturated steam, 7 kg of pressure; if the flow rate is 6 cubic meters per hour, what size pipe is required?； How much steam does a 200 tube produce per hour?
Sure, since the formula states it clearly, it can definitely be used
11.89 mm, 2262 m3; generally, the steam consumption is calculated in mass units
It’s okay to choose based on this flow rate; actually, it’s usually not possible to reach such a high value
So, what is a suitable value for the velocity of saturated steam flow?

You can see that formula is clearly based on calculations for incompressible fluids; if the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet of the pipe is not significant, it is possible to use that formula for calculations. Additionally, you need to consider the pressure drop, especially when the pipes are relatively thin.
