LINE SIZING BASIS Line sizing will be broadly governed by following factors Required capacity / available pressure drop

/ pumping cost Velocity criteria Flow induced forces Noise / Vibration Pressure surges Erosion/Corrosion/Cavitation Liquid accumulation / slug flow Static electricity LINE SIZING CRITERIA FOR LIQUIDS Nor DP Bar/km 0.6

Service Pump suction (Bubble point & liquid saturated with gases) Pump suction, sub-cooled Pump discharge Gravity flow Side stream draw off (Provide a vertical run of 3 mtr minimum from nozzle of nozzle size before reducing the size of the line) Cooling water sub header Cooling water main header
