The calculator only goes up to 99°C and I am running 190°C. Any other online calculators? Thank you for replying

I have 1/4" diameter tubing (tightest point prior to valve) leading to a solenoid valve with a 2.5 mm orifice. I am trying to compute how much pressure it would take to move 1 and 2 CFM of 190C air through the valve (to atmosphere). I am using blowers and I don't know if they will be able to...

Henryk - I have been considering a lateral piston pump. I think that will be the quietest, lowest maintenance, and cleanest option. Diaphragms seem to wear out too quickly and the diaphragm material can be an issue. As for the opening, it is a pre-developed heat torch, so I am limited to their...

I own a holding company that is trying to develop a hot air chemical extraction apparatus. Unfortunately, my physics background is lacking and I don't know where else to turn for answers than the internet. Hopefully, I will get the answers I need here, or at least a connection that will send me...

Known: Heater intake is 1/8", output is 1/4", pressure drop is ~8.3 psig at 5 CFM flow. Minimum SCFM is 1. The blower would need to put out a minimum of 1 SCFM and be variable above that to a max of 5.3 CFM How do I determine what size blower I would need to overcome this pressure and obtain...
