V = air velocity in feet per second
D = pipe inside diameter in inches
L = length of pipe in feet
P = pressure loss due to air friction in ounces/square inch
formula from B.F.Sturtevant Company
V = 25,000 DPL v
Air Volume Discharged from Pipe
CFM = air volume in cubic feet per minute
V = air velocity in feet per second as determined in the
equation at the top of this page
A = cross section area of pipe in square feet
CFM = 60VA
Boyle's Law
If temperature is kept constant, the volume of a given mass of
gas is inversely proportional to the pressure which is exerted
upon it.
