Just a quick update on this one, disregarding what I said above regarding pressure loss calc.
I've updated my calculations to complete metric using
Which is showing okay along the length of hoses. If anyone is interested I'll post the excel file.
I'm rounding the numbers to simplify, but I'm working 1 bara at sea level. We know the pressure we can produce is 8.5barg by gauge readings, therefore 9.5bara.
I've been using this equation for the hose losses which is in an excel spreadsheet using imperial units (oil field norm).
but I have...
Hi Lnewqban, thanks for your reply. To my knowledge the compressors have never been checked using bara equipment. They have been in use for many years so could have been before my time, during my time we've only used calibrated gauges showing 0 at atmosphere. It's only recently that we've got...
Hi all, I'm new on here and will start off with what I think is a simple clarification. I'm questioning my workings due to previous work being completed by another engineer and thought this was the best place to ask.
Essentially we have compressed air being supplied through a hose, the hose...
Hi,
My name's Scott, I'm a mechanical engineer and have been using the PF website on and off over last few years. There's always been good advice to be found and through it was time to join, as well as having a particular question to be honest.
