Screen openings chart indicates the % open area of perforated plate and meshed line screens. For fluids of high viscosity and finer weave meshes viscosity and density correction factor chart will be referred Sample calculation: Estimate pressure drop across 100 mesh lined Basket Type strainer provided in a 6" line with following data. Flow rate = 700GPM Viscosity = 100cP Specific Gravity = 1 ‘The Pressure Drop Chart for Basket strainers indicates a drop of 0.9psi. ‘The Screen openings chart indicates the % open area of 100 mesh is 30%. From chart one correction factor to be 1.2. Total Pressure drop (P1) = 0.9 X 1.2 = 1.08 psi Multiply PI by the specific gravity of the fluid actually flowing through the strainer to get P2. Since specific gravity = 1 Pressure drop (P2) = P1 X Sp. Gravity 08X1 =1.08psi Using chart 2 multiply P2 by the appropriate component factor (CF) to get P3. Using chart 2, (P3) = P2 X (CF) = 1.08 X 0.35 = 0.38psi Let, P4 = P2 — P’ = 0-7psi Multiply P3 by the appropriate body loss factor (BF) in chart 3 to get PS Using chart 3, PS = P3 X (BF) = 0.38 x 16 htpulseperatontechnology.comcaleulate-pressure-dop-nfiters-ond-sainers! 16 1.08 — 0.382010972018 Calculate Pressure Drop in Fillers and Strainers - Separation Technologies = 06lpsi Multiply P4 by the appropriate Screen Loss factor (PF OR MF) in chart 3 to get P6 Using chart 3, P6 = P4 X (PF or MF) =07X65 = 4.55psi Total pressure drop (P7) = PS + P6 Total pressure drop (P7) = 0.61 + 4.55 = 5.16psi Annexures: ‘Screen Openings for Strainers 100 Mash - 30% O.A. 0.006" Openings 20 Mesh - 36% O., 0.008" Openings 60 Mosh - 20% ON, 0.010" Openings 40 Mash - 419% O.. 0.016" Openings 20 Mash - 43% OA 0.022" Openings 20 Mash - 49% OA, 0.038" Openings 0.027" Dia. - 28% OA, 0.038" Dia - 25% OA, Dia. - 38% 0.8 Dia. - 379 OA 1/8" Dia. - 40% OA 6792" Dia, - 58% 0.8 SS SSCOS COS’ 210 02-50% 04 1/4" Dia, - 40% O.A hitp:lIseperationtechnology.comicaleulate-pressure-drop-infiters-and-strainers! 2162010972018 Calculate Pressure Drop in Fillers and Strainers - Separation Technologies ‘Screen Correction Factor Chart (Chart?)
