200m of tubing/piping - pump strength

[jonaltv]

hey all

I need to run water and/or oil through about 200m of tubing/piping that will all be about 3m above the height of the pump. I wouldnt mind running this all on a dc pump that could run continuously, any suggestions for what I should be looking?

thanks all,

jonaltv

The crystal ball is a little foggy today - so how about a little more info.like flowrate, tube size, oil viscosity.

Suggest that you run either water OR oil. Water will cost more to pump, but oil will be more dangerous and any kind of a leak won't be very nice anyway. I suggest you chose water.

Sorry for the lack of info.

i'll be running water through the pipe. the flowrate doesnt have to be all that impressive, somewhere between 0.2 to 0.4 m/s is fine. the tube that i'll be using has a 6mm internal diameter.

thanks again

What is 0.2 to 0.4m/s, is that m3/s - ml/s - or some other measure?

It's a velocity.

If it's velocity, then it's the product of a flowrate which suggests the OP knows the flowrate. If this is the case,about it OP, would you like to advise.

0,03 m³/h or 0,13 GPM if I'm not wrong.

.02 to .04 m^3 / hr... roughly.

or 5.3 to 10.6 GPM. roughly.

Anyways, this is a tiny flow rate. Go buy a simple peristaltic tubing pump.
