Preconditions

Flow rate, pipe diameter, length in consistent units; fluid properties (viscosity, density)

Failure modes
  • · Velocity > 10 ft/s (erosion risk)
  • · Pressure drop > 30% source (inefficient)
  • · Cavitation if inlet <0.5 m/s
Trust signals
  • · Hazen-Williams or Darcy-Weisbach equation
  • · Reynolds number for laminar/turbulent
  • · ASME standards
