Design Information Designing Your Dust Collection System There are five simple steps to designing an effective and efficient dust collection system. 1 . Draw a floor plan of your shop Important Terms to Remember CFM - Air Volume in cubic feet per minute. 2 . Determine Duct Velocity (FPM) FPM - Velocity of Air in feet per minute. 3 . Determine Diameter and CFM of each Branch SP - Static Pressure . This is expressed in 4 . Determine Diameter and CFM of Main Duct inches water gauge . It is resistance to air 5 . Figure System Resistance (SP - Static Pressure) at rest in a duct, and is also commonly called “resistance,” friction,” “friction loss” We ALWAYS recommended you do these calculations or “pressure loss” . BEFORE you purchase your dust collector or ductwork . VP - Velocity Pressure: expressed in inches To properly size your dust collector, you NEED to know water gauge . It is kinetic pressure in the your CFM requirements and at what Static Pressure your direction of flow necessary to cause air system will be operating . Use the CFM and Static Pres- at rest to flow at a given velocity. sure to compare the performance of your dust collector . The dust collector performance ratings should show that at your given Static Pressure, the CFM it will provide . Important TIPS to Remember • Machines with the biggest draw (highest CFM) should be placed nearest to
