Suggested Piping Sizes:

• Pump suction lines should be sized so the fluid velocity is between 2 and 4 feet per second.
• Oil return lines should be sized so the fluid velocity is between 10 and 15 feet per second.
• Medium pressure supply lines should be sized so the fluid velocity is between 15 and 20 feet per second.
• High pressure supply lines should be sized so the fluid velocity is below 30 feet per second.

Heating Hydraulic Fluid Nodes:

• 1 HP = 2,544 BTU per Hour
• 1 watt will raise the temperature of 1 gallon by 1°F per hour
• Horsepower x 745.7 = watts
• Watts ÷ 1000 = kilowatts
