Centrifuge Sizing Calculator

Volumetric flow rate of the feed stream
Concentration of solids in the feed
Average particle size in the feed
Density difference between solid and liquid phases
Viscosity of the liquid phase

Calculation Explanation

This calculator estimates centrifuge parameters using simplified correlations. The Sigma Value (equivalent settling area) is estimated based on feed rate, viscosity, density difference, and particle size using Stokes' law principles. Required Bowl Volume is approximated from feed rate and solid concentration. Recommended G-Force is estimated empirically from particle size. These are rough guides; consult vendors for actual sizing.
