Sizing is very important in selecting a separator that will provide full efficiency. To select a size find the flow rate in lbs./hr. across the bottom of the selector chart and follow this flow up until it intersects with the operating pressure on the left side of the chart. Where the Flow and pressure meet shows a recommended size. Follow the operating pressure line to the right side of the chart to get the pressure drop. Over-sizing should not be considered because efficiency drops off as velocity decreases.




Air and Other Selector Charts

Sizing is very important in selecting a separator that will provide full efficiency. To select a size for air find the SCFM flow rate across the bottom of the selector chart and follow this flow up until it intersects with the operating pressure on the left side of the chart. Where the flow and pressure meet shows a recommended size. Follow the operating pressure line to the right side of the chart to get the pressure drop. The selector chart for air can also be used for selecting separators for other types of gases. The gas flow rate in SCFM can be corrected by using the gas and temperature correction charts below. Oversizing should not be considered because efficency drops off as velocity decrease.
