In process engineering, selecting the appropriate filling method requires evaluating the hydraulic performance of the dispensing nozzle under specific product flow conditions. By determining flow rate, Reynolds number, and line pressure drop, engineers can size piston actuators, prevent product shear degradation, and confirm whether standard mechanical filling is feasible. This analytical approach ensures equipment capability matches process specifications and product safety requirements.
