Part 4/8:
In a graphical representation of the gradation curve, the x-axis typically measures particle size, while the y-axis indicates the percentage of particles finer than a given size. This curve helps determine the appropriate filter material by establishing relationships between the sizes of particles in the core and the desired size of the filter.
Key Criteria for Filter Design
Simplified filter design relies on three fundamental criteria: piping criteria, permeability criteria, and gradation control.
