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...
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.

Mining application
Anybody have a minimum flow velocity to prevent line freezing...
