How
are flow rate and pressure defined? |
| |
The flow rate
represents the amount of fluid which flows out or is supplied
in a given length of time.
Flow rates are measured in l/min, l/s or m3/h.
Energy is transmitted through pipes by air under pressure,
circulating in a closed circuit.
The pressure unit used is the bar.
Nominal pressure: Pressure value assigned to a device or system
to provide a practical reference.

How
can the flow rate of a compressor be estimated in place?
|
| |
1 h.p. = 6.5
Nm3/h
1 kW = 1.36 h.p.
The flow rate of a compressor may be calculated based on the
horse power indicated on the manufacturer's plate.
|
| |
How
can the flow rate needed to power a facility be calculated? |
| |
The
flow rate necessary for a facility corresponds to the total
compressed air necessary to power all the machines (pneumatic
tools, etc.). It may be estimated by adding the air flow rate
consumed by each device (marked in its manual or on the device
itself).
This total may be lowered if the machines are not all operated
at the same time, depending on how much they are used. |
| |
Are
the rules given in the standards compulsory? |
| |
The standards include
guidelines and general rules intended to simplify the installation
and use of specific devices.
They include dimensions, specifications, and recommendations
to ensure personnel safety, continuity of manufacturing, long
service life, easy and cost-effective maintenance.
They are not legally compulsory.
