Why is there a limit on the flow rate of liquid in pipes
Thread Content
Is there a limit on the flow velocity of PX in DN200 pipes? 2 m/s? Or what? Why impose restrictions?
The main considerations for limiting flow rate are pressure drop and preventing the generation of static electricity.
Agree with the second floor – check the manual or something to confirm.

It cannot be too low; if the flow rate is less than 1 meter per second, some small particles cannot be transported to the storage tank and will accumulate in the pipes. (Small particles contain gray rust and other mechanical impurities)
