AIR AND VACUUM VALVE SIZING 1. Determine liquid flow capacity in the pipe line. 2. Determine rate which air will exhaust in CFM. Q SD5 S = Slope (decimal) D = Dia. in inches 4. If there is a risk of pipe collapse from vacuum, the maximum tolerable pressure differential must be determined. 3 3. Enter chart with the air discharge rate and use a pressure differential no greater than 2 PSI. Pick off valve size. P = Collapse Pressure (psi) T = Pipe Wall thickness in inches. D = Pipe diameter in inches. 5. Use this maximum pressure differential or 5 PSI whichever is lower and enter the chart with the...
