How system capacity affects conveying line pressure I
In a series of quarterly columns, Paul E. Solt -- a private consultant with more than 35 years experience in installing and troubleshooting pneumatic conveying systems -- looks at pneumatic conveying through the computer eye to analyze the relationships among several operating parameters.
In this fourth column, we'll determine how conveying line pressure is affected by the capacity of a pneumatic conveying system when all other variables -- line length, line diameter, material characteristics, and pickup velocity -- remain constant.
