LOAD LOSS<br />
BALPEX MULTI-LAYER PIPE<br />
The inner surface of Balpex multi-layer pipe has got a very low rugosity coefficient (7 millionth of millimetre)<br />
which allows substances to flow fast and fluently. Considering that it is advisable to keep speed less than 3<br />
metres per second when flowing cold water, the following diagram allows to calculate load loss (mbar/m)<br />
starting from diameter of pipe (mm) and capacity (litres of flow in 1 hour) to make use of.<br />
Litres of flow 1 hour<br />
EXAMPLE:<br />
In order to determine the load loss of the BALPEX 16X2 tube, under a flow of 400l/h at a water temperature<br />
of 20 degrees C:<br />
draw a vertical line starting from the expected flow rate (400l/h) until you come across<br />
the slanting line concerning the diameter of the foreseen tube (16x2 mm) then draw a horizontal line from<br />
the point of intersection until you obtain the corresponding load loss (9 mbar/m).<br />
