AIRPEL simple basket filters provide an effective, low-maintenance solution for the protection of industrial fluid systems.
Their simple, robust and accessible design makes them a highly versatile option for both auxiliary and main process lines.
They are especially suitable for applications requiring a first stage of solid retention, adapting to a wide range of pressures and fluid contamination levels.
Sizing Data – Simple Basket Filter
A simple basket filter of type OV is required to protect the equipment in a line at a 200-micron level. The fluid is water at 20 °C, with a pressure of 4 bar(g) and a flow rate of 600 litres/min. A clean pressure drop (differential pressure) not exceeding 34 kPa is considered acceptable.
- Verification of pressure and temperature conditions: Service conditions: 20 °C and 4 bar(g) → The standard filter is suitable.
- Mesh selectioN: For 200 microns or finer, an 80-mesh (190 μm) basket is required.
- Determination of initial pressure drop: On the selection graph, marking a flowrate of 600 L/min, the line intersects the diagonal filter selection curve at a 65 mm (2½”) filter, with a clean pressure drop of 28 kPa.
- Applying the correction factor for mesh type (80 mesh) Corrected pressure drop: 28 kPa × 1.1 = 30.8 kPa → within the acceptable limit.
- Final filter selection
- → OV-type filter, 65 mm (2½”), cast iron body, with 80-mesh (190 μm) basket.
