What is the maximum allowable flow rate for oil transportation in oil production?

Reply to 1# flyin522: I’m not sure whether you’re referring to crude oil or refined oil. If it’s crude oil, the medium contains solid particles or water droplets, and at certain flow speeds, erosion can occur at some bends and valves. Therefore, for a specific medium at a certain flow rate, it is necessary to select a pipe diameter that meets the requirements, that is, the pipe diameter is chosen to prevent erosion (of course, many other factors are also taken into account). For pipes of a fixed diameter, it is also possible to calculate the critical flow velocity at which erosion does not occur.

The economic flow rate is 3-4 meters per second
