For dust collection systems that deal with larger particle sizes (i.e. like this one), 20m/s or 3500fpm+ is perfectly acceptable to prevent settling according to ACGIH. I am just wondering if the reason the fitting is wearing out so fast because of the fact that Victaulic fittings are not...
The velocities are high to prevent settling, I am really just wondering if the reason the fitting is wearing out so fast because of the fact that Victaulic fittings are not suitable for dust collection.
Hi,
So I have been working on a problem where a dust collector pipeline has a newer elbow that has worn out (has large holes through it). The elbow is a Victaulic no.10 90 deg grooved elbow, but I am wondering if the use of these victaulic fittings for abrasive dust collection is normal? The...
