A 2-inch schedule 40 line (lD = 2.067) is used to carry gasoline (SP GR = 0.75). The flow rate is measured with an orifice plate (d = 1.034) and pipe taps are used. At full flow rate, a differential pressure of 50 inches of water is produced. What is the approximate full flow rate in gpm?
A. 30 gpm
B. 53 gpm
C. 250 gpm
D. 36 gpm
