A hydraulic pump is producing ). It has been determined that
the fluid velocity in the pressure line of the system should be between 20 and
to 7.6ms). Determine the minimum and maximum pipe diameters
that could be used.
Barlow's formula is
Sk=pD2t
where
Su= ultimate tensile strength (psi, kPa, or MPa)
p= maximum system pressure (,kPa,MPa)
D= inside diameter (in,cm,ormm)
t= wall thickness (in,cm,ormm).
The maximum allowable hoop stress (SALL) is found by applying a safety
factor (N) between 4 and 8, depending on the application, so that
SALL=SuN
