Overview

Engineering reference data for Air Discharge Hose in gases and compressed air.

Key Formulas

Ideal Gas Law

PV=nRTPV = nRT

Pressure × Volume = moles × gas constant × temperature.

Boyle's Law

P1V1=P2V2P_1 V_1 = P_2 V_2

At constant temperature.

Charles's Law

V1T1=V2T2\frac{V_1}{T_1} = \frac{V_2}{T_2}

At constant pressure.

Unit Conversions

The following conversions are essential for calculations involving air discharge hose systems:

  • 1 psig=6.9 kPa=0.069 bar1 \text{ psig} = 6.9 \text{ kPa} = 0.069 \text{ bar}
  • 1 ft (foot)=0.3048 m1 \text{ ft (foot)} = 0.3048 \text{ m}
  • 1 scfm=0.472 nl/s1 \text{ scfm} = 0.472 \text{ nl/s}

Operational Parameters

The volume of air discharged is dependent on the hose length and supply pressure. For a 100-foot hose, typical operational data is provided for pressures ranging from 30 to 90 psi.
