Abstract
AbstractModern pipes for compressed air distribution lines are made of aluminium alloy and built by means of manufacturing extrusion processes. This kind of pipe needs a suitable mathematical formulation providing performances, in terms of pressure drop and flow-rate.To this aim in this work a methodology based both on experimental tests and a theoretical approach was carried out. Analytical formulations were performed providing best experimental data fitting and range of applicability. Performances of most common line components (straight pipes, elbows, straight fittings and tees) made of different commercial sizes were evaluated carrying out experimental tests by means of a properly instrumented test bench.Experimental and theoretical results were in good agreement, thus validating the proposed formulation.
