WHAT A VELOCITY TABLE IS ACTUALLY FOR

A velocity table is a pre-solved answer to this whole page for one typical service. It bundles erosion, noise, water hammer, ΔP and cost into one number, and it is right whenever your case looks like the case it was solved for. Change the fluid density, the length, the energy price or the NPSH margin and the bundle comes apart — which is why the same fluid gets a 4″ discharge and a 6″ suction.
