Design criteria — The conveying line
Building on the information presented in his first and second series of columns, Paul E. Solt -- a private consultant with more than 36 years experience installing and troubleshooting pneumatic conveying systems -- presents a third series of columns discussing design criteria for a pneumatic conveying system.
