Thanks Artisi and Rmw. The system has a big turndown, so the velocity in the pipe for the lowest flow, at 4% consistency, is around 0.15 m/s. Just wondering if it's ok to pump through a 150 m long pipe with a tortuous run.
cheers

Is there any minimum velocity for pulp stock in pipes that we shouldn´t go below? if so what´s the main reason, fibre settling?
thank you in advance
Daniel
