Basket strainer/filter design and pressure drop calculations inquiry 1

[Elias141077]

Hi everybody.
I'm involved with oil applications (metering skids) where our costumers oftenly request large basket strainer efficient calculations from us (fluid flow up to 3000 m3/hr). Apart from various vendor catalogues providing info and charts for Dp calculations, could somebody assist me,or even better provide,some solid sources, articles, books handling basket strainer/filter design and pressure drop calculations.
Your help will be highly appreciated!!

Sorry, but most of what I would refer you to is vendor literature. The DP across the strainer is a function of the design of their internal passages (and valving if it is a duplex) so to me it is not a 'one size fits all' situation.

There is a curve in "Perry's chemical engineering handbook" that I used it before to check some vendor informations. The DP was a function of "open area"(My handbook is not handy now).
