What is the velocity limitation in Pipe?
If a certain Pipe say 8" A-53 SCH 20 is on Fuel Oil Service and flow rate is 210 m3/hr. Operating pressure is 6.6 Kg/cm2. Flow rate is to be increased to double or 1.5 times, how much this pipe can withstand the velocity. Obviously the pressure loss shall be increased but there is requirement of 1.4 Kg/cm2 at end point and the actual concern is the increased flow rate.
Are there any references (book article, code/standard or formula etc) in this regard?
Note
Specific Gravity of Fuel Oil 0.915
Viscoisity is 43 CP at 85 C
total pipe length is 500 meters
Waiting for your valuable comments
