Line Sizing Design Calculation as per API RP 14E | Erosional Velocity Explained |Design Hub|

Описание: Line sizing is one of the most critical steps in oil & gas pipeline design.
In this video series, we explain API RP 14E line sizing methodology in a clear, step-by-step, field-oriented manner.

API RP 14E is widely used as an erosion screening guideline to limit fluid velocity and protect piping systems from erosion damage.
However, it is often misunderstood or misapplied.

In this video, you will learn:

✅ Why line sizing matters in oil & gas projects
✅ What API RP 14E actually covers (and what it does not)
✅ Erosional velocity concept and governing equation
✅ Meaning of C-factor and mixture density
✅ Step-by-step line sizing workflow
✅ Pass / Fail decision logic
✅ Typical applications in upstream facilities
✅ Design Hub best practices used in real projects

⚠️ Important Note:
API RP 14E controls erosion only.
Complete line sizing must also include hydraulic analysis, pressure drop checks, noise, vibration, and slugging considerations.
