- McMasterCarr, website , these values were based on white schedule 40 PVC pipe.
- Granger, website , these values were based on white schedule 40 PVC pipe
- US Plastics, website , these values were based on gray schedule 80 and white schedule 40 PVC pipe, note gray schedule 40 PVC pipe is the same price as white schedule 40 PVC pipe.
Results
Figure 1: The figure is a graphical representation of the price of PVC pipe as a function of pipe diameter.
Figure 2: The figure is a graphical representation of the price of PVC pipe as a function of pipe diameter and in this case the small diameters are highlighted.
Discussion
The results provide the background information to make an educated decision on the maximum allowable pipe diameter for the linear orifice flow meter according to price pressures. Currently I am unsure of the budget for the LFOM, with that information specification is possible.
