Questionable results with IP units – TLV ToolBox Review
Tested pipe sizing by velocity on a small unit heater I'm designing.
70 psig
120 lb/hr
6000 fps max
500 ft
Result:
Steam temp = -316 deg F
1/8" nps pipe
497 fps
dP=3043 psi
I imagine the negative steam temp is a big part of the problem, but the pressure drop massively exceeding the pressure is big cause for concern too.
I'll hold on to the app for a couple weeks to see if they release an update.
