15 ft/s speed limitation in liquids
Thank you for your quick response Bimr, I am happy to hear that answer. According to it, money is the key factor but there are not technical issues with higher velocities. Let's talk about the case I am studying. I have an industrial fluid in the top of a tower 200 meters height. Therefore...- zarrus
