Flow Capacity Pipe and Tubes ANSI schedule 40 pipe
The following chart contains the maximum recommended flow rates at the given pressure for ANSI schedule 40 pipe. This chart is
applicable for designing compressed air systems.
The flow values in this chart are based on a pressure drop as set forth in the following schedule:
Pressure Drop per 100 Feet of Pipe |
Pipe Size - Inches |
10% of Applied Pressure |
1/8, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 |
| 5% of Applied Pressure |
3/4, 1, 1-1/4, 1-1/2, 2, 1-1/2, 3 |
