Drain Pipe Question??

[Tongue33]

What is linear flow size?? ANd recomended was 36" for 2400 gph.. Is that vertical flow length or what?? Thanks

OH and have something neat beign posted in PHoto lounge shortly

You went over my head with that one and since no one else replied I am guessing it was the same with everyone. In what context is this terminology used? If it is on a web site can you provide a link? If it is in an operations manual, maybe post the paragraph word for word.

I'm guessing you're using the reefcentral calculator?

I believe thats the length right>left of overflow box along the back to allow 2400gph. If ya do straight bulkhead fittings without an overflow box ya don't need to worry about that.

I belive it refers to the length of horizontal run, to maintain the 2400gph flow rate...

Linear and turbulent,etc, flow refer to stuff only a chemical engineer or a petroleum engineer gives a s*** about. You can calculate Reynolds and Prantyl (?) numbers but they have no real world effect in any phase of fish keeping.
