Calculate Compressed Air Velocity



Formula

The formula to calculate the Compressed Air Velocity (Vca) is:

\[ Vca = \frac{Q}{60 \times \pi \times \left(\frac{d}{24}\right)^2} \]

What is Compressed Air Velocity?

Compressed air velocity measures the linear speed of compressed air as it moves through a tube or pipe. It is an important parameter in pneumatic systems to ensure efficient and effective operation, as well as to prevent potential issues such as pressure drop or turbulence.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the Compressed Air Velocity (Vca):

\[ Vca = \frac{Q}{60 \times \pi \times \left(\frac{d}{24}\right)^2} = \frac{500}{60 \times \pi \times \left(\frac{2}{24}\right)^2} = 381.97 \text{ ft/s} \]

The Compressed Air Velocity (Vca) is 381.97 ft/s.
