Evening gents I have been trying to work out pipe loads but have be unable to find any formula or charts to help. Can anyone tell me the kw carrying capabilities at 1.5ls with 20c drop on 35mm,42mm,54mm,2.5"'3",4"?

any reason why?

isn't this normally left to mechanical engineers design specs?
 
I have been fitting biomass for 3 years and want to move on to design but everyone you ask doesn't want to tell you wait they already know.
 
35mm - 62kw @ 20DT
42mm - 100kw
54mm - 160kw
67mm - 235kw
76mm - 310kw
108mm - 650kw
past that and your into mechanical engineer realms,
 
Doh!!!! beat me to it

but obviously you also have to take into account pipe, fittings and all other resistances when calculating the correct size of pipe to use

my mrs does all our design work so she uses the cibse technical guides, it was the only book on her shelf that i understood enough to post details LOL!!
 
But the 40kw on 28 is fine. U can get it through 22mm according to guide! Doh!
 
you probably could but the increase in pressure and velocity would make it noisy - so she says....
