Plastic pipe dimensions are, by convention, specified by the outside diameter, usually denoted by e. This may be supplemented by stating the nominal inside diameter or DN. Sometimes the pipe wall thickness is specified by the SDR or Standard Dimension Ratio.
SDR = d divided by e.
Where d = the outside diameter (mm)
Where e = the pipe wall thickness (mm)
The pipe size can be calculated as follows:
di = 18.8 √Q1 ÷ v
Where:
di = Inside pipe diameter (mm)
Q1 = Flowrate in m3/h
v = Flow velocity, usually 0.5 to 1.0 m/s for suction lines
OR
1.0 to 3.0 m/s for discharge lines.
Material | α = mm/mK |
---|---|
ABS | 0.10 |
PE | 0.15-0.20 |
PP | 0.16-0.18 |
PVC-U | 0.07-0.08 |
PVC-C | 0.06-0.07 |
PVDF | 0.12-0.18 |
A rough calculation of pressure loss in straight length plastic pipe can be done using,
Δ Pr = λ × (L ÷ di) × (ρ ÷ 2.102) × v2
Where:
Δ Pr = Pressure loss (bar)
λ = Pipe friction factor
L = Length of straight pipe (m)
di = Inside pipe diameter
ρ = Liquid density (kg/m3)
v = Flow velocity (m/s)
For smooth bore plastic pipe: λ = 0.02
