Flow rate limits for flammable liquids in pipelines
Thread Content
Dear teachers, what are the maximum flow velocity limits for liquid hydrocarbons and gasoline/diesel in pipelines? Ignoring pressure drop, considering only the hazard (generation of static electricity)
Design institutes and various organizations all have reference flow velocities.
