How to Calculate and Solve for Pouring Speed | Design of Gating System
Last Updated on March 30, 2024
The image above represents pouring speed. To calculate pouring speed, three essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Co-efficient for friction (μ), Acceleration due to Gravity (g) and Rated head static (Hs).
The formula for calculating pouring speed:
v = μ√(2gHs)
Where:
v = Pouring Speed
μ = Co-efficient for Friction
g = Acceleration due to Gravity
Hs = Rated Static Head
Let’s solve the following example:
Find the pouring speed when the co-efficient for friction is 14, acceleration due to gravity is 9 and rated static head is 16.
This implies the following example:
μ = Co-efficient for Friction = 14
g = Acceleration due to Gravity = 9
Hs = Rated Static Head = 16
v = μ√(2gHs)
v = 14 x √(2 x 9 x 16)
So, v = 14 x √(288)
v = 14 x 16.97
v = 237.58
Therefore, the pouring speed is 237.58 m/s.
Calculating the Co-efficient for Friction when the Pouring Speed, the Acceleration due to Gravity and the Rated Static Head are Given
μ = v / √(2gHs)
Where;
μ = Co-efficient for Friction
v = Pouring Speed
g = Acceleration due to Gravity
Hs = Rated Static Head
Let’s solve the following example:
Find the co-efficient for friction when the pouring speed is 24, the acceleration due to gravity is 9 and the rated static head is 11.
This implies the following:
v = Pouring Speed = 24
g = Acceleration due to Gravity = 9
Hs = Rated Static Head = 11
μ = v / √(2gHs)
μ = 24 / √(2 x 9 x 11)
Then, μ = 24 / √198
μ = 24 / 14.07
μ = 1.70
Therefore, the co-efficient for friction is 1.70.

Calculating the Acceleration due to Gravity when the Pouring Speed, the Co-efficient for Friction and the Rated Static Head are Given
g = (v / μ)2 / 2Hs
Where;
g = Acceleration due to Gravity
v = Pouring Speed
μ = Co-efficient for Friction
Hs = Rated Static Head
Let’s solve the following example:
Find the acceleration due to gravity when the pouring speed is 22, the co-efficient for friction is 10 and the rated static head is 14.
This implies the following:
v = Pouring Speed = 22
μ = Co-efficient for Friction = 10
Hs = Rated Static Head = 14
g = (v / μ)2 / 2Hs
g = (22 / 10)2 / 2 x 14
That is, g = (2.2)2 / 28
g = 4.84 / 28
g = 0.172
Therefore, the acceleration due to gravity is 0.172.
Calculating the Rated Static Head when the Pouring Speed, the Co-efficient for Friction and the Acceleration due to Gravity are Given
Hs = (v / μ)2 / 2g
Where;
Hs = Rated Static Head
v = Pouring Speed
μ = Co-efficient for Friction
g = Acceleration due to Gravity
Let’s solve an example;
Find the rated static head when the pouring speed is 30, the co-efficient for friction is 10 and the acceleration due to gravity is 8.
This implies that;
v = Pouring Speed = 30
μ = Co-efficient for Friction = 10
g = Acceleration due to Gravity = 8
Hs = (v / μ)2 / 2g
Hs = (30 / 10)2 / 2 x 8
So, Hs = (3)2 / 16
Hs = 9 / 16
Hs = 0.56
Therefore, the rated static head is 0.56.
