Calculate normative material loss of heat carrier (water) from cylindrical pipe according to rule 10.1.2 of Minenergo Order 325.

Usage

m325nvl(a = 0, d = 720, wth = 12, len = 1)

m325nml(
  temperature = 130,
  pressure = mpa_kgf(6),
  a = 0,
  d = 720,
  wth = 12,
  len = 1
)

Arguments

a

heat carrier (water) volume loss factor of cylindrical pipe, [h⁻¹]. Type: assert_double.

d

nominal (outside) diameter of pipe, [mm]. Type: assert_double.

wth

nominal wall thickness of pipe, [mm]. Type: assert_double.

len

pipe length, [m]. Type: assert_double.

temperature

temperature of heat carrier (water) inside the pipe, [°C]. Type: assert_double.

pressure

absolute pressure of heat carrier (water) inside the pipe, [MPa]. Type: assert_double.

Value

For m325nvl

volume loss of heat carrier per hour, [m³/h].

For m325nml

mass loss of heat carrier per hour, [ton/h].

Type: assert_double.

Details

The calculations are based on the a-factor, which may be treated as the maximum allowed rate of heat carrier (water) volume loss per hour. So, its value varies from 0.0 h⁻¹ (no loss of heat carrier) up to 0.0025 h⁻¹ (maximum possible loss allowed). The cylindrical form of pipe is always assumed in calculations.
