overflow line sizing

[sarm]

hi all,

i have one problem..for diesel tank overflow line (located at top of the tank rather than side) capacity calculation. given overflow line size is 1". i need to find the capacity of the overflow line need to match with inflow rate.fluid is diesel, visosity is 3.1 cp & density - 850kg/m3 @50°C. I have done calculation in pipenet but it's result is 3.75m3/hr. just need to confirm/doubt what is the max. flow rate expect from overflow line having 1" size. pl. if any solution is there pl. let me know..

Pipenet may not be the right methodology for sizing tank overflows

hello sarm,

assume approx. 300 L/HR for a 1" line.

Kind Regards,
