    Vacuum pump sizing vs pipe conductance

    Katmar, All flows are actuals. I thought "actual" when typing the values, but didn't actually type "actual". Thanks for your rant. If only the world could agree on one system of units, that would be nice. And use dots for decimal points and commas for thousands separator! Everything above is...

    Vacuum pump sizing vs pipe conductance

    Katmar, yes, indeed. Pressure and not pipe length. Duh!, in hindsight. That's what you get when all you obtain is a screenshot with no further explanations. Our client is actually buying directly from the supplier, but they involved the supplier after installing the pipe network, and now...

    Vacuum pump sizing vs pipe conductance

    Hi LittleInch, (I've been reading your posts since FOREVER!) It's a 1 m³ tank. ;-) More data: 15 mbara, 987 lpm This chart is the only one provided. We can ask. Attached is a chart with a different pipe diameter, with the duty point hitting the curve...

    Vacuum pump sizing vs pipe conductance

    Hi Doug, Yes, it is pipe length. We are at about 50m of pipe. From what I gather, conductance is the equivalent of pipe roughness,i.e. pipe resistance, for vacuum, except that it varies with lenght, pressure, diameter...

    Vacuum pump sizing vs pipe conductance

    Hello all! The engineering office I work for has been tasked with sizing a small vacuum distribution network for a pharma facility. None of us have experience with vacuum systems, and we are therefore working with a vacuum pump and piping supplier. We can safely assume these guys know their...
