Pressure Drop

FRICTION FACTOR NEW:

AIR-PRO C = 150 IRON C = 100 TO 110

AGED: AIR-PRO C = 150 IRON C = Decreased

Decrease is due to Internal Corrosion, Pitting and scaling

Pressure Drop Comparison

MetalL= 200 mp= 12 barV= 40 l/sresult:

pipe dimension: ID= 53,0 mmOD= 60,3 mm

pressure drop: p= 0.335 psi

Air - ProL= 200 mp= 12 barV= 40 l/sresult:

pipe dimension: ID= 53,0 (54) mm

OD= 72,6 (75) mmpressure drop: p= 0.210

psi Difference of pressure drop ~26%

Stress Curve

The calculated service life of pipe is based on the results of the creep rupture tests under internal compression carried out by the material manufacturers as per DIN 8075, and on long-term tests of the ageing stability in temperature controlled oxygen fresh water.

MRS 10: minimum required strength for an operating time of 50 years and a temperature of 20°C = 10 N/mm2

Design life of 50 years

Pressure vs. Temperature

Values based on 20mm-110mm Socket Fusion Material

Design Criteria – Thermal Expansion

L = 12 LT

L = Change in Length (inches)=Coefficient of Thermal ExpansionL = Length of pipe runT = Change in Temperature

Design Criteria – Gooseneck Drops

Removal of condensation in drops/branches

Socket Fusion

Socket Fusion

cleaning of the pipe and the fitting. Bevel or Peel dependent upon size

pressing the pipe and the fitting on the heating element for preheating

remove and join the pipe and fitting together

Leaving the joint without load during the cooling time

visual control of the joint

recommended procedure:by hand up to OD 40 mm (1¼“)use welding equipment for dimensions > OD 40 mm (1¼“)
