Engineering ToolBox > Velocities in Vacuum pipes
The air velocity in vacuum pipes can be estimated with the diagrams below.
The diagram is calculated for steel pipes schedule 40.
Velocity in a NPS 3" steel pipe with standard air volume flow 100 scfm at 30% vacuum can be estimated to approximately 3000 fpm as shown in the diagram below:
