Static pressure is .434 X height Example 10 ft x .434 4.34 PSI to prove take 2.31 PSI x 4.34 To find FORCE to need to calculate the diameter of the piping and the height and then the weight of the water inside the pipe

∙ 11y agoThe simplest way to calculate the pipe diameter would be using flow rate & velocity in the formula, diameter=root((4*Flow)/(Pi*Velocity)). In order to find the velocity from pressure we can use the formula Velocity=root(Pressure/1000).

How do you determine flow rate by pipe size?
By knowing the availabe pressure and the diameter / material of the piping
Applications of orifice meter in industries?
(to check the flow rate of water ... calculate the pressure drop
What is surge limit in cetrifugal compressor?
Surge Limit is the Minimum Flow Point ( in the compressor characteristic curve ) below which the compressor operation become instable. If the flow-rate is reduced, the pressure developed by the compressor decreases. Then, the pressure in the discharge line becomes greater , and the gas flow back into the compressor. As soon as the pressure in the discharge line drops to below that developed by the compressor, the gas again flows in the discharge line. Then, the cycle repeats. The oscillating pressure and flow rate will cause audible vibrations and shocks, and could damage the compressor blades, seals, and other components. Therefore, the compressor requires an antisurge control system to limit the flow rate at a minimum point, safely away from the surge limit.
Why is used the balancing line in boiler feed pump and its direction of flow?
In boiler feed pumps usually the discharge pressure is 20 to 30 times tie suction Pressure so to protect the pump balancing line is given from discharge to suction.
What is the principle of pressure gauge in air conditioning laboratory unit?
Without knowledge of the pressure in the air cond. lab. unit you will not be able to calculate the mass flow. Without the mass flow you cannot do any analysis of the system.
Pressure 14.5psi flow will be 700gallon per day how will calculate the pipe diameter?
I want to know based on flow and pressure how to calculate diameter of the pipe
What is a pressure differential?
its pressure between suction and discharge flow...
How does pipe diameter affect flow rate?
Smaller diameter = Greater pressure
What is relation between mass flow rate and discharge pressure in reciprocating compressor?
These have a inverse relation. You will need to know the discharge and the incoming pressure in order to find out the mass flow rate.
How do you calculate water flowing out of pipe which is having a diameter of 4 inches and pressure of 4 bar?
You'll need the length of the pipe, because that's where the flow resistance is. At the outlet end, the pressure is atmospheric.
What does antisurge valve do in compressors?
The compressor antisurge valve opens to bypass flow from discharge to suction. This allows the compressor to flow through bypass and keeps the compressor from surging (reverse flow thru compressor). The discharge pressure does not continue to build due to closed discharge conditions.
How does the diameter of a column of water affect the pressure at the bottom of the column?
Yes and no, provided the pressure is kept constant, what appears to be more pressure is actually more volume. it appears to be more pressure, but it is an optical illusion, put a pressure gauge and be amazed.
What is the water flow rate in a 24 inch diameter pipe in gallons per minute when the flow velocity is 3 feet per second?
what is the discharge flow of 10m/s passing from 2ft pipe
How do you determine flow rate by pipe size?
By knowing the availabe pressure and the diameter / material of the piping
What happens to speed of water in a pipe if the diameter of the pipe is decreased?
Assuming that the pressure remains at a constant, reducing the diameter of the pipe will increase the water flow. On the contrary, increasing the diameter would cause the water to flow at a much slower rate.
How can you calculate the flow of FD fan and motor power when you know fan speed and impeller diameter?
times by 2
What is the maximum amount of water that can flow in a 2 inch pipe one half mile long?
Insufficient information, one needs to know the pressure of the water entering the pipe, the relative heights of both ends the pipe, the pressure of the water at the discharge of the pipe, the geometry of the pipe including the number and types of turns, and the pipe material or internal friction coefficient. Then you can calculate the flow.
