This display showcases the progression of layflat water transfer systems through physical examples of 8”, 10”, 12”, and 16” line sizes, highlighting how the industry has scaled to meet increasing water demand.
What started with 8” layflat for moderate flow operations has evolved into high-capacity 16” systems capable of transferring 160+ barrels per minute (BPM) across extended distances.
Each step up in diameter represents more than just size—it reflects increased efficiency, reduced friction loss, higher flow rates, and the ability to support today’s large-scale frac operations with fewer limitations.
As line sizes have grown, so has the need for better control. Modern high-volume systems now rely on real-time monitoring, pressure management, and automation to safely move more water, faster and farther than ever before.
Bigger line. Higher volume. Smarter operations.
