Suction Pipe Considerations and Sump Design for Mill …
= slurry velocity (m/s), Q = slurry flow rate (l/s), D = pipe diameter (m) c. Obtain the value of Vc from the nomograph for solids with relative density S s = 2.65 by drawing a straight line from appropriate pipe diameter over the solids particle d50 size to the Vc on the center axis. If solids Ss is other than 2.65 draw another line from this
