Vapor pressure is the main factor in determining cavitation. Vapor pressure is a dependent on temperature. A pipes diameter becomes a main factor because it directly reflects the velocity of the pipe. Velocity is an important factor in determining cavitation in a pipe since it effects the velocity head for a piping system. If the velocity head is to great it could decrease the pressure inside of the pipe causing cavitation.
Example: For a given pipethe flow will constant for. However the velocity in the pipe is dependent on its diameter. This is because velocity is based on the ratio of flow to area. Flow will not change but based on the diameter of the pipe it will have a different velocity. If the pipe had varying diameters the velocity will vary as well. Higher velocities will be at areas where the diameter is small and slower at areas where the diameter is larger.

What is inside diameter of 8 clay pipe?
Diameter of clay sewer pipe are dependent on the manufacturer and the nominal diameter of the pipe (generally ranging from 4" to 30"). For one manufacturer's specifications see: http://www.loganclaypipe.com/pp_pipespecsdata.html
Pressure 14.5psi flow will be 700gallon per day how will calculate the pipe diameter?
I want to know based on flow and pressure how to calculate diameter of the pipe
How thick is a 24 reinforced concrete pipe?
30-inch (inside diameter) RCP has a wall thickness of 2.75 inches. Therefore, the outside diameter of 30-inch RCP is 35.5 inches.
Formula to calculate the wall thickness for pipe?
t = PxDxA/2E where, t = thickness P = pressure D = pipe Diameter A = factor of safety E = tensile strength of pipe
How Do you calculate the area of pipe?
Start with the maximum flow speed (metres per second) for your liquid, then mutiply by the area of the pipe in square metres, the result is maximum volume flow rate in cubic metres per second.
Is it okay to put a throttling valve on the inlet pipe of a pump?
No, it is not. It may cause cavitation.
What is the diameter of a pipe?
The diameter of a pipe is its width across an open end of the pipe. The inside diameter is the width measuring on the inside of the pipe; the outside diameter is the width measuring on the outside.______________________________________________________________________________________________________For a pipe of circular cross section, its nominal diameter is the diameter of the cross section.The inner diameter is the measuring on the inside of the pipeThe outside diameter is the measuring on the outside of the pipe.
How does a radius relate to a diameter?
They relate because radius is half of a diameter.
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.
What is the diameter of an 8 inch pipe?
The inside diameter (ID) is 8 inches. The nominal pipe size (NPS) and outside diameter (OD) depend on the thickness of the walls of the pipe.
What is the diameter of a steel pipe using a vernier caliper?
formula: (R+2t)=D where, R-radius or pipe t-thickness of pipe D-diameter of pipe. by using above formula we get the diameter of a steel pipe, by using vernier caliper
What is the inside diameter of 0.75 inch pipe?
Three-quarter inch diameter pipe refers to the outside diameter. Different pipe types of the same outside diameter usually have different inside diameters. ASTM SCH 40 pipe of 3/4 inch diameter has an inside diameter of 0.824 inches. ASTM CL 200 pipe of 3/4 inch diameter has an inside diameter of 0.930 inches because of the thinner wall.
What is the outside diameter formula?
4inch pipe diameter
What is use of pipe nipple?
Pipe nipple is use as connector to both pipe which have female end. It does not same as pipe reducer which nipple has same diameter throughout both end and threaded. Pipe reducer has different diameter for both end and it is use to join different pipe diameter.
When saying calculating inch dia of pipe is number of welded joints x pipe size that refers to lenght of pipe or diameter of pipe?
Pipe size refers to the diameter of the pipe (in inch).
What is the difference between tube and pipe?
Tube is measured by outside diameter, pipe is measured by inside diameter.
How do you find inside diameter of pipe knowing the wall thickness and outside diameter of pipe?
take the outside diameter and subtract the thickness twice.
