Gravity Flow Line Sizing Calculation: Carbon Steel Stainless Steel

This document provides calculations for sizing a gravity flow line to transport a fluid. It lists input values such as flow rate, tank pressures, fluid properties, pipe length and roughness. It then calculates the total friction coefficients, available head, required fluid velocity, and internal pipe diameter needed to transport the fluid given the input conditions. The selections of pipe material, outer diameter and required pressure drop in a control valve are also provided.
