    Equivalent Length (Piping)

    Further to your other replies, an Engineer can estimate in a long run of pipeline (ie distribution networks) by adding 10% to the measured length, due to the long lengths and minimal fittings. However for pipework which in small lengths could have numerous fittings and therefore a range of 50 -...

    HEPA filter DF

    HEPA filter type 2s are guaranteed to filter up to 500DegC for 10mins. Has anybody determined the DF at this temp as most manufacturers' data is only for 100DegC or do not state the DF ie the filter media's holes enlarge, hence the DF drops, although some particles would also increase in size...

    Air flow exceed rated CFM for HEPA filter

    Is it possible to put another filter in parallel, hence accommodating your flow, keeping similar pressure drop and also keeping within your DF range

    HEPA filters

    Does anybody know where i can get hold of Impulse shock test data on HEPA filters. Most manaufacturers have data on static presssure tests only.

    Primary fragments impacting on concrete

    From the 4 replies you can see my dilema. Concrete of about 1.5m thk, estimate 40 N. Prior to testing etc, just a formula to get me started to give a handle on the outcome. The information onb the initial thread is all I have to work with, ie lots of assumptions which is always the case in...

    Primary fragments impacting on concrete

    Does anybody out there know how to determine the impact on concrete from primary fragments, travelling at approx 2-3km/s? Or a change of formulae to help.

    flow rate in pipe from a storage tank

    You could use the formula - Head = Lambda LV squared over 2 gd Or dig deeper and determine the dynamic and kinemtic viscosity to calculate the Reynolds number enabling you to determine the type of flow either lminar or turbulant which will lead to your flow rate. I agree their are always so...

    pressure drops in valves

    And if so what value to enter, or where to look for acceptable values rather than judgement

    Venting Options inj Blast Chambers

    Many thanks. The cleaning is of importance as I must also contain the shock, the quasistatic pressure, but must be re-usable after a cleaning regime of waste gases has occurred. Blast baffles have been considered although again reliability, how much sooting occurs. Further to all this what...

    pressure drops in valves

    Many thanks. I will try this. But remember the question rom the software is K? and static pressure? before the pipesizing has been achieved. Once I have pipesized, I will then have to size my control valves for AHUs cooler coils.

    Venting Options inj Blast Chambers

    At present looking to employ blast dampers to protect ductwork and HEPA filters. However trying to substantiate the blast valves is concerning. What other options are there, or how to substantiate the valves? Any case data on non operation would be useful ie after how many firings? My client...

    pressure drops in valves

    I am currently trying to use Hevacomp for general pipesizing. My client prefers the output. Manually I have a clear approach but tedious. When using the software it requests for a K value, fairly ok with this, dimensionless and there are lists from manufacturers. It also requires an acceptable...
