Extract

Data were obtained of the pressure loss characteristics of metal strip matrices constructed by winding together alternate layers of crimped and plain metal strip. The hydraulic diameters of the passages so formed were in the range 0.023 in. to 0.060 in. with passage lengths from 1 in. to 6 in. and metal thickness from 0.002 in. to 0.006 in.

The units were mounted in a 6 in. diameter duct in which air velocities of up to 200 ft./sec. were obtained. The range of passage Reynolds number was from 300 to 6,000. The majority of the experimental results were for atmospheric pressure, but some tests were carried out at sub-atmospheric pressures to test a correlation equation derived from analysis of the results.
