Notes on pipes / 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. Connect all connectors to the unit without initial
stress.
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 differential in a hydraulic line (
P
(line)
) depends on the
following:
Flow
rate
Kinematic
viscosity
Pipe
dimensions
Fluid
density
