: To avoid erosion or excessive noise, typical liquid velocities are maintained between 2. Pressure Rating and Integrity
The design of process piping systems requires a balance between fluid dynamics, material science, and mechanical integrity. Choosing the wrong pipe size can lead to high energy costs or fluid erosion, while an incorrect pressure rating risks catastrophic mechanical failure. : To avoid erosion or excessive noise, typical
