Piping velocity calculatormetric

Most water authorities require a check valve to be installed at the tap before a tap timer. Attach this back-flow device to your tap to prevent back-flow. These check valves are suitable for use on drip systems because they also have a Vacuum Breaker Valve to ease the pressure on the drip tube system.

As a general rule, velocity in corrugated metal hose should never exceed 150 ft/sec for gas or 75 ft/sec for liquids otherwise resonant vibration can occur which can cause very rapid failure of the assembly. Where velocity exceeds these rates, an interlocked metal hose liner or larger hose I.D. is recommended. Contact us for design recommendations.

This calculator is designed to determine the velocity of liquid flowing through Penflex hoses. Flow rate needs to be in cubic feet per minute (ft3/min) for calculator to work properly. If flow rate is known in gallons per minute (gal/min), input flow rate and click “Convert” before hitting “Calculate.”

To determine velocity, divide flow rate by cross-sectional area. This simple equation applies only to flowing liquid, not gas, due to the fact that liquid cannot be compressed and therefore density and volume remain the same. On the other hand, changes in gas pressure and temperature affect those inputs, and a more complex calculation is needed to determine velocity when flow media is gas.
