Steam flow rate issue

The flow rate recommended in chemical engineering design manuals is below 20 for low pressure and 20–40 for medium pressure. Please share how you determine the flow rate in your own cases!

I have superheated steam on my end, so I usually opt for a design based on the upper limit

Take a value within 20; if it’s to be made fine, calculate the pressure drop

For steam pipelines, pressure drop is generally used as the selection criterion; once the pressure drop requirement is met, it is then checked whether the flow rate is too high

Excessively high flow rates can cause vibrations in the pipes
