When compressed air moves through your piping system, friction with the pipe causes it to lose pressure (PSI) as it travels—a phenomenon known aspressure drop. The smaller the pipe, and the longer the distance the air travels, the more friction it experiences and the more it slows down. ...
The critical pressure ratio also occurs when the flow velocity is equal to the sonic velocity in the nozzle's narrowest section. The flow becomes supercritical if the pressure after the nozzle is reduced further, below the criti- cal value. The relation for the flow through the nozzle is: ...
Pressure is also lost between the compressed air and pipe terminals if the piping has several connectors and twists. If the pipe lacks enough diameter to let the airflow through at the speed required for the application at hand, the system is forced to add excess pressure to the operation. ...
The summary chart (Figure 1) below shows purity classes 0 through X for particles, water, and oil. The end user can then select a purity class for each contaminant based on either equipment installed or air quality required for a specific process or product. There should be no confusion...
