Notes on Piping / Hosing
NOTICE
Non-permitted pressure at the inlet IN / outlet OUT
Failure malfunction
►
Determine the pressure to be anticipated at the inlet / outlet with the
prescribed values.
Note that the cross-section of the connected hoses/piping, must be at least as large
as the cross-section of the inlet/outlet port sizes.
In order to keep the pressure loss as low as possible, use as few threaded
connections as possible.
The pressure at the inlet/outlet depends on the height differential between the FAM
fluid surface in the tank port (aspiration height
P
(height)
) and the line losses
(
P
(line)
).
If the FAM is above the fluid surface in the tank, determine the pressure as follows:
P = 1 bar -
P
(height)
-
P
(line)
If the FAM is below the fluid surface in the tank, determine the pressure as follows:
P = 1 bar +
P(height)
-
P
(line)
Determine the pressure loss
P
(height)
as follows:
P
(height)
[bar] = h [m] / 10.
h
stands here for the distance between the suction connection on the FAM and the
fluid surface in the tank and is given in meters.
The pressure loss in a hydraulic line (
P
(line)
) depends on the following:
Flow
rate
Kinematic
viscosity
Pipe
dimensions
Fluid
density
