INJECTION QUILL PROBE DIMENSION 1

[xnabrar]

Hy All,

Is there any reference for the below injection quill probe distance/insert inside the pipe.
NPS is 10''

You need to get the vendor to certify this for vortex vibrations for the fluid and max velocity / flow rate you will see.

Otherwise somewhere between 0.3D and 0.5 D in my experience.

0.5 if you can, but often it gets limited by the vortex and force / bending moment on the top weld or screw in of the quill.

Quite often people come back a few months / years later when it's not mixing so well and find the quill has vanished!

Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.

IMHO the lenght of the quill inside the pipe should be equal to the ray of the inner pipe.

thanks

The injection quill we used had a spray nozzle to promote a good flow mixing of the chemical in counter current.

@0707 - you wouldn't generally have a spray nozzle going counter current in a gas pipeline. A chamfered quill in a liquid line, yes. As for the quill insertion length, Google "wake frequency calculation"

Yes I agree, any way I keep on thinking a spray nozzle in the quill promotes a better mixture, of the chemical, into the fluid than just a pipe obliqualy cutted.

A number of firms make injection quills. The outlet is in the middle of the fluid stream with a 45[sup]o[/sup] cutoff.

Your application details are not listed, but these should suffice.

I had some experiences where this kind of quills had desapeared due to corrosion/erosion

Exactly!

These quills can be fabricated from a number of different materials. If the correct material is selected for the application, the device is not going to disappear.

P = PVC
C = CPVC
H = Alloy C276
S = 316SS
A = Alloy20
T = Titanium Gr.2

LI,

Did you mean to quote someone else?

 

[LittleInch]

No, I was just agreeing with myself and 0707....

With quills both erosion and fatigue (both enhanced by corrosion) are issues.
Given the option I would always select a Ni alloy (625 or C276) fro strength and corrosion resistance.
Ti is very problematic because of fatigue (low modulus=more vibration and low fatigue strength), Ti quills need to be larger diameter.
There are a lot of applications where SS will work fine, but double check that it is compatible with the product being injected.
My favorite story is about a personal care products firm making shampoo. There is an additive that is only about 0.2% in the finished product. As a concentrate it will devour 316L SS. They learned the hard way, lost the quill and then wiped out about 40' of pipe as it ran along the wall before mixing.

I ALSO AGREE WITH YOU EdStainless
