1. The principle for selecting the nominal diameter of the inlet and outlet air ducts is based on flow rate and flow velocity, with flow velocity being related to pressure. 2. The pressure in a general air buffer tank is 0.6 MPa. The maximum air pressure for the buffer tank is commonly set at 0.7. 3. It’s pointless to provide a handhole in this buffer tank; a manhole is necessary anyway, and the equipment equipped with a manhole generally has an inner diameter of no less than 800. We are using a model with a capacity of 1000; there is an access hatch at the bottom. How many connections does an air buffer tank usually have? We only have the inlet and outlet air ports (side inlet, top outlet), the pressure gauge port, and the drain port.
Thank you for your reply. My choice is a pressure gauge interface using a steel pipe with an outer diameter of 18×2, paired with a M20×1.5 pressure gauge. The DN value for the inlet and outlet ports is usually DN20, with DN50 being the maximum value used. In most cases, DN20 is used for waste discharge outlets; DN50 has only been used once. I would like to ask experts: how do they generally choose the nominal diameter when dealing with connection pipes? Thank you.
