DETERMINING ASTL SIZE
SAND TRAP
LOUVERS
13.8
How to Size ASTL and
AFSTL:
Note: For optimum performance of sand trap louver with lower
pressure drop and higher efciency, we recommend a face
velocity of up to 1m/s.
For a known air quantity,
calculate face area as follows:
Face area (m
2
) = Air quantity (m
3
/sec)
Face velocity (m/sec)
The length (m) and width (m) of
sand trap louver can be determined
from the face area calculated with
respect to the opening provided at
the site.
If only free area is known,
calculate face area as follows:
Face area (m
2
) = Free Area (m
2
) x 2.7
The length (m) and width (m) of
sand trap louver can be determined
from the face area calculated with
respect to the opening provided at
the site.
Face Velocity (m/s) = Air quantity (m
3
/sec)
Face area (m
2
)
Free Area Velocity (m/s) = Air quantity (m
3
/sec)
0.36 x Length(m) x Width(m)
1 m
3
/sec = 1000 LPS (Litres per second)
Printed data based on face velocity and test results
from accredited third-party testing laboratories.
