Gravity Pipe Flow Calculator

Piping systems can be classified into two types based on the driving force that enables fluid flow: pressure-driven and gravity pipe flow. Pressure-driven systems rely on external forces like pumps to create a pressure difference, whereas gravity pipe flows utilize the force of gravity to move the fluid using its own weight. In this article, …

Orifice Plate Sizes for Engineers

Orifice plates are thin plates containing holes intended for the purpose of creating a restriction along a pipeline. This restriction serves to regulate flow or determine flow rate based on the pressure differential generated across the orifice. They are offered in various sizes to cater to specific applications, and this article explores the different sizes …
