velocity to prevent water freezing in pipe - subarctic
thanks all for the info more details What i am trying to do is size the pipe. Heat trace and insulation are really not an option due to cost. The 10,000 usgpm would be continual. The line can be installed without low points so it will free drain. If it were to ever freeze, we would wait...- hrdrok

velocity to prevent water freezing in pipe - subarctic
Got pointed here from civil guys Simple (or not), I need to move ~10,000 usgpm of water over 3000 feet, in subartic conditions, 24/7 run conditions. Pipe is fully exposed, free draining both ends. Negligible head (10m +/-) plus line loss. Heat trace and insulated pipe not an option due to...- hrdrok
