Velocity Mul r Chart VELOCITY OF STEAM -FPM Example of Use of Basic and Velocity Multiplier Charts. Given: a, Weight-Flow Rate = 6700 Ib per hr. b, Initial Steam Pressure = 100 psig. ¢. Pressure Drop = 11 psi per 100 it. Find: a, Size of Schedule 40 pipe required. b. Velocity of steam in pipe Solution: The following steps are illustrated by the broken line on Fig. 22: Step 1. Unter Fig. 22 at u weight-flow rate of 6700 Ib per br and move vertically to the horizontal line at 100 psig. Step 2. Follow along inclined multiplier line (upward and to the left) to horizontal 0 psig line. The equivalent weight flow at O psig is about 2500 Ib per hr. Step 8. Follow the 2500 Ib per hr line vertically until it inter- sects the horizontal line at 11 psi per 100 ft pressure drop. The nominal pipe size is 21g in. The equivalent steam velocity at 0 psig is about 32,700 fpm. Step 4. To find the steam velocity at 100 psig, locate the value of 32,700 fpm on the ordinate of the velocity multiplier chart at 0 psig. Step 5. Move along the inclined multiplier line (downward and to the right) until it intersects the vertical 100 psig pres- sure line. The velocity as read from the right (or left) seale is about 13,000 fpm. Note: The preceding Steps 1 to 5 would be reurranged or reversed if different, data were given.
