ARI-PREDU®

Sizing diagram for water

Volumetric flow

Example:
Volumetric flow = 24 m3/h
∆p = 4 bar
-----------------------------------------------
24 m3/h x Factor 1,25
= 30 m3/h
choosen DN40

Sizing diagram for saturated steam

Steam flow
Downstream pressure
Inlet press.

Example:
Steam flow = 1200 kg/h
Upstream pressure = 10bar / Downstream pressure = 8bar
----------------------------------------------------------------
1200 kg/h x Factor 1,25 = 1500 kg/h choosen DN40

Pipe sizing for saturated steam

Example:
Steam upstream pressure = 10 bar(g)
Steam downstream pressure = 4 bar(g)
Steam flow = 5000 kg/h
choosen upstream pipe = DN125
choosen downstream pipe = DN200
