Are there flow velocity restrictions to avoid static charge build up in pipelines?
Detailed Explanation
There is an Australian standard "AS1020 (1984) - Control of undesirable Static Electricity" In it, there is a table for flammable hydrocarbons as follows:
Pipe Size (mm) Max Velocity (m/s)
10 8
25 4.9
50 3.5
100 2.5
200 1.8
400 1.3
600+ 1.0
