The calculation of the mesh size for raw material filter elements
Thread Content
Could some expert please advise on how to calculate the mesh size of the filter elements for crude oil filters (Pall)? Currently, it is only known that the filter element area is 190 square units per set, there are 279 filter elements per set, the porosity is 3%, and the flow rate is 3.2 cubic meters per hour per square unit
The mesh size of the filter element is not calculated; it is generally determined based on the requirements of the manufacturing process regarding the size of particles that need to be removed by the filtering medium. Based on your description, it seems that the filtering area should be what is taken into account! The calculation of the filtration area is related to flow rate and throughput; generally, the throughput is determined based on experience and the degree of contamination of the medium

Just by looking at the number of filter elements, the flow rate for one set exceeds 500 cubic meters; there are three such sets. . . . . That’s amazing
The mesh size of the filter element is determined by the filtering material, and it cannot be calculated.
