Re: Calculating flow through an SAO
If you can give me values for pressures and temperature, with calculator on: http://www.pipeflowcalculations.com/orifice/index.htm you can calculate flow through orifice with ease. Also, theory that is used for that calculator you can find at: http://www.pipeflowcalculations.com/pipeflowtheory/flow_...

Re: Pipe Diameters and subsequent Flow Rates
There are two options - either you choose pipe diameter based on the wanted maxim velocity for given flow rate - you can use: http://www.pipeflowcalculations.com/flowrate/index.htm - and select - calculate for diameter. Or for given pipe line and known pressure on the start and on the end of pipelin...

Re: simple calculation of pipe diameter
Here is the formula to calculate pipe diameter for predefined velocity: http://www.pipeflowcalculations.com/pipeflowtheory/flow_mean_velocity.htm . If you know volumetric flow rate [m3/h] - you can use first one, but most probably you will know mass flow rate [kg/h]. Anyway, you will need saturated ...

K factor - resistance coefficient calculator
New calculator is available at: - K factor or resistance coefficient calculator.
Calculate resistance coefficient for elbows, bends, tees, reducers, pipe contraction, pipe enlargement, pipe entrance and exit.
Hope you will like this one as one for resistance coefficient for valves is coming soon!

Re: Oil Flow From Gulf of Mexico Blowout
1. Oil viscosity [nu] would also be needed. 2. Pressure of 28000 psi is in some point of pipeline - for calculations it is required to know where is that pressure from discharge place - [L]. With these two known you can use: http://www.pipeflowcalculations.com/pressuredrop/index.htm calculator and e...

Re: Oil Flow From Gulf of Mexico Blowout
Do you know:
1. Pipe diameter
2. Pressure - somewhere - and that position distance from the pipe exit
3. Depth of see on the place of leak?

Re: Required Orifice size to produce 15,000 psi
I am not a person that can help you on proper nozzle selection, but maybe you can use of this: http://www.lechler.de/pdf/4_flachstrahl_e.pdf . Now, if I understand you correctly, you control the pump flow rate with rpm of the pump. With increase of flow rate, the pump pressure increase. To know the ...

Re: flowrates of a pipeline release
For calculation through the hole in water pipe line system, you can use orifice plate calculator: http://www.pipeflowcalculations.com/orifice/index.htm There you will have to choose - liquid and enter diameter of the pipe as D1 and diameter of the hole as D2, with pressure in front of the hole p1, a...

Re: how to calculate flow-rate and drop pressure on branch pipe.
Here is the illustration: http://www.pipeflowcalculations.com/images/piping.jpg 1. Now, to calculate flow in pipe A-B you need to know pressure on point B. I would make assumption as it is 5 bar. Flow rate Q1 can be calculated now. 2. Calculate flow in B-C and B-D based on the same pressure of 5 bar...
