Uphole Velocity Calculator, Formula, Uphole Velocity Calculation

Uphole Velocity Calculator:

Enter the values of Flow Rate of Uphole, Hole Diameter & Pipe Diameter to determine the value of Uphole Velocity UHV_(ft/s).

Uphole Velocity Formula:

The Uphole Velocity UHV_(ft/s) in feet per second is equal to the Value of 183.4 into multiply the Flow Rate of Uphole CFM_(ft³_/m) in feet cube per minute is Divided by the Hole Diameter HD_(inches) in inches is squared and subtracted by the Pipe Diameter PD_(inches) in inches is squared.

The Equation of Uphole Velocity can be writtern as,

UHV_(ft/s) = 183.4 * CFM_(ft³_/m) / ( HD²_(inches) – PD²_(inches) )

Here,

UHV_(ft/s) = Uphole Velocity in feet per second

CFM_(ft³_/m) = Flow Rate of Uphole in feet cube per minute

HD_(inches) = Hole Diameter in inches

PD_(inches) = Pipe Diameter in inches

Example Problems for Uphole Velocity:

1)Calculate the Uphole Velocity and given for Flow Rate of Uphole = 180ft³/m , Hole Diameter = 6inches , Pipe Diameter = 3inches.

Answer

UHV = 183.4 * CFM / ( HD² – PD² )

UHV = 183.4 * 180 / ( 6² – 3² )

UHV = 1222.66ft/s.

2)Calculate the Flow Rate of Uphole and given for Uphole Velocity = 1222.66ft/s , Hole Diameter = 6inches , Pipe Diameter = 3inches.

Answer

UHV = 183.4 * CFM / ( HD² – PD² )

1222.66 = 183.4 * CFM / ( 6² – 3² )

CFM = 180ft³/m.
