Flamingo materials have a high interconnecting structure with a uniform porous surface and small wall thickness, ensuring great permeability for a given pore size.
The permeability coefficient of Flamingo sintered bronze filter elements can be calculated using the following formula (Darcy's Law):
Property | Value |
---|---|
Chemical Composition (Nominal) | Cu-89%, Sn-11% |
Density | 5-6.5 gm/cc |
Porosity by Volume | 30-45% |
Coefficient of Linear Expansion | 18.3 x 10-6 °C |
Temperature Suitability | In oxidising gasses (air) up to 180°C or in reducing gasses up to 400°C |
Grade | Average Filtration Level (micron) | Coefficient of Permeability (x10-3 cm) |
---|---|---|
F80 | 75-95 | 1500 |
F40 | 50-65 | 1000 |
F25 | 25-35 | 250 |
F15 | 14-20 | 75 |
F10 | 10-12 | 25 |
F5 | 5-8 | 10 |
F1 | 2-8 | 3 |
