Thus, the overall length of the pressure pipe can be considered as 300 m + 101 m = 401 m. With 

respect to the total length of the pipe, we could repeat the calculations for the correction of the 

initial calculations. By following the same steps as before, we can calculate the final diameter of the 

pipe, which is D = 96 mm. Finally, at this point it should be mentioned, as in the case of electrical 

motors, the aim of this section is not to provide a full and extended analysis on the selection of the 

pneumatic equipment; instead, it is focused on the way that the pneumatic equipment should be 

utilized and integrated into fully functioning industrial automations.
