How to choose the diameter of a basket filter based on flow rate
Thread Content
The following parameters are known: filtration accuracy of G4, flow rate of 65,000 m3/h; it has an air inlet for heat circulation as well as a pressure gauge, and is connected via flanges. The weight is 10 KG, the mesh size is 40, and the material of the main body is carbon steel. Another flow rate is 27,100 m3/h; if anyone knows how to calculate this, please help with the calculation! Thank you!
Depending on the type of medium, select an appropriate flow rate based on experience, and then the diameter can be calculated
Do you know the flow rate? If it is not known, one must determine what the medium is, as well as the temperature and actual pressure, in order to find the flow rate. The flow rate Q/V gives the velocity; it allows one to determine the effective filtering area. For basket filters, the effective filtering area is 2-3 times the cross-sectional area at the inlet and outlet, which then enables the pipe diameter to be determined. :)
