Pipeline pressure drop issue
Thread Content
The pressure at the booster station is 6 bar, but it drops to 4 bar when it reaches the equipment. The main pipeline has a diameter of 60 mm and is 50 meters long; a 20-meter section with a 25 mm diameter pipe is connected to it, and then 10 smaller pipes lead to the equipment. The pressure loss is 2 bar – what could be the reason? Is the pipe too small? How to calculate it? Thank you
Is there anyone who can help solve this issue? Everything works fine when the equipment is not in use, but the pressure drops by 2 bar once the equipment is turned on
