Process Line Sizing

This course provides a practical understanding of process line sizing principles used in engineering and process design projects. It introduces participants to the fundamentals of sizing process piping based on flow requirements, pressure drop, velocity, and operating conditions. The course explains how fluid properties and process parameters influence the selection of suitable line sizes. Participants learn the relationship between flow rate, pipe diameter, velocity, and pressure loss during line sizing calculations. It covers the use of design criteria and engineering guidelines for selecting appropriate pipe sizes. The course also introduces sizing considerations for liquid, gas, and two-phase flow services. Participants gain an understanding of pressure drop calculations and the factors affecting hydraulic performance. Practical examples are included to demonstrate line sizing calculations and engineering decision-making. The course also discusses the importance of checking minimum and maximum velocity limits, erosion, noise, and operational requirements. By the end of the course, participants will have a structured understanding of process line sizing and its application in real-world engineering projects.
