Hello Everyone,

I am trying to convert the Filter differential pressure drop (3 psi) to a K-value. This way the DP changes with the flow rate. Does anyone know the Specific DP to K value formula for FILTERs? Thank you very much for your help.

The "K" factor is related to the pipe size of the fitting, or more specifically the velocity in the line.

K=2gh / v^2

where h is head loss in feet
and v is fps

There is a nice discussion of this in Crane TP410, which I recommend.

Gvdlans is correct about where to get the book.

If you will do any fluid flow work, the price is a bargain. I might add that there also is software available from http://www.abzinc.com/ which appears to be excellent. I have not tried that yet, only because of economics.

Best to you,
