What is relative roughness?
Relative roughness is a measure of the surface roughness of pipe surfaces. It is the size of the roughness scaled by the diameter of the pipe or duct. Rel Roughness=e/D; where e is the measurement of the surface roughness and D is the diameter of the pipe. It is mainly used for calculating head losses in piping systems.
What is deifference between GRE pipe and RTR pipe?
RTR Pipe(Reinforced Thermosetting Resin pipe) is a kind of composite thermosetting plastic pipe,combing Resin with Fiberglass Roving.In fact,the RTR pipe have a more approperiate name as GRE(Glass Reinforced Epoxy) Pipe, since that uses Epoxy Resin instead of Polyester.GRE Pipe have much superior properties than common RTR Pipe, especially in properties of high pressure resistant.
Capacity of pipe?
In order to calculate the internal capacity of a pipe use the formula pi x internal radius x internal radius x length of pipe where pi = 3. 142. This is the volume of a cylinder; pipe capacity is usually amount of flow per unit of time under given conditions of internal roughness, and viscosity of the flowing fluid with a given pressure loss per length unit
What is bi pipe?
Bi pipe is a black iron pipe.
What is difference between nominal diameter of a pipe and bore of pipe and also defined the nominal diameter of pipe and tube how you differentiate both?
bore of the pipe is the internal diameter of pipe but the nominal diameter of pipe is the dia of a circle which is draw through a point which is situates at exactly half of the thickness of pipe or we can say that (outer dia of pipe- thickness of pipe )=nominal bore of pipe.
Friction factor for stainless steel pipe?
for turbulent flow in pipes the friction factor depends on Reynold's number as well as the inside roughness of the material.you could calculate the pipe inside roughness or the relative roughness by referring to the 'values of absolute roughness table'.relative roughness =ε/Dwhere,ε- absolute roughness.D- inside diameter of the pipe.for stainless steel the the absolute roughness value is 0.0018inches or 0.000045metre.you could substitute the value in the above formula and find out the relative roughnes.After doing this refer the Moody diagram to find out the friction factor for the values of Reynold's number and relative roughness.ε

What is the friction factor for smooth dry pavement?
The friction factor used in the Darcy-Weisbach equation to calculate the pressure drop in pipe flows is dependent on the surface roughness inside the pipe and Reynolds number of the pipe flow. The relationship between the friction factor and the relative roughness, Reynolds number can be found in the Moody diagram.
How do you read moody's diagram?
To determine the frictional factor, find the relative roughness value for the pipe on the right. Then locate the pipes Reynolds number on the bottom. Follow the relative roughness curve to where it crosses the determined Reynolds number. Now at that point project a straight line to the left, the number determined on the left is the frictional factor.
What is roughness ratio?
In a pipe it is the roughness of the pipe over the diameter of the pipe
How do you determine what surface roughness is needed?
Depend on what you need in surface roughness. Some process like fluid flow through pipe would minimized the surface roughness of the pipe to reduce the pressure drop while for floor surface coating require friction to prevent slip and so it determine whether the roughness would provide enough friction to prevent person walking to slip. Different roughness might need if compare between dry and wet floor.
Why is the operation of converting prefix centimeter to prefix millimeter necessary?
Some measurements are typically given in mm size. Some unitless numbers, such as relative surface roughness=k/d, need to be in the same length units. Where k= roughness of pipe usually in mm, and d= diameter of pipe usually in cm. To make the number unitless you must make the lengths the same unit, and to do that you convert cm to mm or mm to cm.
How can you make a glasspack louder how do you get the fiberglass out?
Take it off and knock the fiberglass out, or just put in a piece of pipe flared on both ends or 2 couplers and 4 clamps.
What is pipe friction loss?
The energy lost through friction as a fluid flows through a pipe. The amount of energy lost is dependent on both the characteristics of the fluid (viscosity, density) and the pipe (roughness, diameter, length) as well as the rate of flow.
What are the factors affecting head loss?
1.Flow Rate 2.Inside diameter of the pipe 3.Roughness 4.Corrosion and Scale Deposits 5.Viscosity of the liquid 6.Length of the pipe 7.Fittings 8.Straightness of the pipe
What is key lock joint in rtr pipe?
RTR pipe is Reinforced Thermosetting Resin Pipe (RTRP) or fiberglass pipe. A Keylock joint is a restrained joint, nylon rods (keys) slip into groove on the spigot and in the bell of pipe and restrain the pipe from pulling apart. The rods (keys) are removable.
What is frictional loss?
The energy lost through friction as a fluid flows through a pipe. The amount of energy lost is dependent on both the characteristics of the fluid (viscosity, density) and the pipe (roughness, diameter, length) as well as the rate of flow.
