Determine Flow rate for pipeline

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on determining the flow rates for two piping systems in an IVF lab, specifically for CO2 and a Nitrogen/Oxygen mixture. The user seeks assistance in finding the required flow rates and inlet pressure for the Galaxy 170 R and K Minc 1000 incubators. A response suggests that the user should consult the equipment manufacturers for this information, as it is typically provided by suppliers. Additionally, it is noted that inquiries about pipe diameter or pressure losses may be more appropriate for engineering discussions. Accurate flow rate data is essential for proper system design and functionality.

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.
 
How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
