Want to make sure that I'm not missing something here. The information on Bill Pentz's site and Terry Hatfield's site is great, but I think my brain is about to pop due to information overload.
It looks like the cyclone is now using a 4X10 duct to 6" round. Since the 4x10 is 40 sq. inches, could the round conversion be to 7" instead? My goal is to lower the SP for some longer duct runs. However, I'm uncertain whether the FPM will stay high enough to move material. I'm thinking of probably just using the 7" in the main and transfer to 6" or lower for the vertical drops.
Will changing to 7" cause any problems with the cyclone's operation?
Will changing to 7" cause problems with material flow if used as main and/or laterals when it gets restricted to 4" or lower at the machine?
Judging by the comments here and other sites, it appears your message is getting out extremely well. Thanks for your help.
