8.6. Liquid sizing examples

8.6.1. Example one

Given:
LiquidWater
Critical pressure (PC)3206.2 psia
Temperature250 °F
Upstream pressure (P1)314.7 psia
Downstream pressure (P2)104.7 psia
Specific gravity0.94
Valve actionFlow-to-open
Line size4 in (Class 600)
Flow rate500 gpm
Vapor pressure (PV)30 psia
Kinematic viscosity (ν)0.014 cSt
Flow characteristicEqual percentage

Step 1: Calculate actual pressure drop using Eqn (8.3).

ΔP=314.7psia−104.7psia=210psi
