We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.

All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page

Changing PSI when going from 3/4 pipe to 1 inch

This is probably simple. I have a 3/4 pipe fitted to a 1 inch pipe. I want the PSI at the 1 inch pipe to be 50. Does the PSI at the 3/4 need to be 62.5 (simple ratio conversion).

Ive been out of school too long.

I think there isn't any conversion. Pressure of a fluid or gas presses against all surfaces equally. It's just that an inside area of tubing will be longer compared to an equal inside area of a larger diameter tube.
