Pipe design for vacuum systems

Pipe diameter, route length, bends and leaks affect the vacuum available at each point of use. Select materials compatible with the process and size main lines and branches for the required flow.

A central system needs pressure-loss calculations, isolation points and access for inspection. Assess simultaneous demand before choosing the pump; a larger pump alone does not correct restrictive pipework.
