Filter Sizing and Darcy's Law Analysis

This document discusses filter sizing and provides specifications for several filter manufacturers. It lists the air flow rate, pressure drop, and area needed to size a filter for an air flow of 1200 CFM at a pressure drop of 350 Pa. Equations for calculating air permeability and flow rate using Darcy's Law are also presented. Reference values for air permeability from various manufacturers are given in L/m2/s, L/dm2/min, and scfm/ft2 at different test pressures.
