Hi all, We have a bearing pad at work that failed a porosity test and could not hold pressure (this was the pad itself and not the babbit surface). I need to look into some NDT testing that will give us an idea about the porosity. I have googled and some sites say different things, from...

Thanks for the reply! Is it a safe to assume that the flow will occur only out the bottom of the tank? Does it work on the basis that if the water level in the tank drops the ball valve will move and allow a bit more water into the system from point Y and hence maintain the same head and flow...

Hi all, I got the system (attached below) and I am trying to work out the following (at point x-outflow): -net head of the system (I guess this isn't really at point x) -flow rate -pressure I know the flowrate and pressure at point Y, I also know how high the water in the tank is at...
