This
page is used to determine the looping calculation to increase capacity for
liquid flow. The equations used in
these calculations are shown in Table 10.1.
To
carry out the Looping calculation the Percent increase in flow rate, Existing
pipe diameter, Existing pipe length, and Looped line diameter of the system
must be entered into their entry space. To do so use the mouse to click the curser
in their entry space and input the data. Once this has been done, select Run to execute the solution.
The
Percent increase in flow rate is the amount it is desired to increase the
capacity of an existing pipeline system.
The
Existing pipe diameter is the inside diameter of the original line, on the
current existing system, before looping.
The
existing pipe length is the pipe length of the original line on the current
existing system before looping.
The
Looped line diameter is the inside diameter of the added pipeline to the
system.
