Determine Flow rate for pipeline

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around determining the flow rates and inlet pressure requirements for two piping systems intended for an IVF lab, specifically for CO2 and a Nitrogen/Oxygen mixture. The inquiry seeks assistance in obtaining these specifications from the equipment used in the lab.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related, Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests flow rates for CO2 and Nitrogen/Oxygen piping systems based on specific incubator models.
  • Another participant questions why the equipment manufacturers do not provide flow rate information directly.
  • A suggestion is made that if the user needs to determine pipe diameter or pressure losses, they should consult an engineer.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on how to obtain the required flow rates, with differing views on whether the information should come from manufacturers or through engineering calculations.

Determine Flow rate for pipeline !

Hi all

I want to design two piping system for IVF (In vitro fertilisation) Lab.

That first pipeline carries CO2 and the other one carries Nitrogen/Oxygen Mixture.

The problem that encounters me is to determine the flow rates form the equipment for the two piping systems.


*CO2 piping system equipment info:

Model: Galaxy 170 R Incubators
Website: http://www.nbsc.com/galaxy_r.aspx
CATALOG: see attachments​


*Nitrogen/Oxygen piping system equipment info:

Model: K Minc 1000 Incubator
Website: http://www.cookmedical.com/wh/dataSheet.do?id=5403
CATALOG: see attachments​




Could someone please find the flow rates required for each equipment and the pressure required at the inlet.

Thank you for your assistance

It sounds like you're asking what flow rates are required for specific bits of equipment that you're purchasing. Why isn't that something that the equipment manufacturers are giving you? If you wanted to determine the diameter of the pipe or pressure losses, that would be a question you might ask an engineer on this board, but if you're asking for information about a piece of equipment you're purchasing, you need to ask the supplier.
