goose neck of a storage silo
goose neck of a storage silo
(OP)
Hi,...
I'm calculating the diameter of the free vent of a storage silo. (No safety panel vent, it is a goose neck)
The silo is storing solid product (PET), it is fed by pneumatic transport (conveying system).
Could you help me with guide, rules of thumbs, best practices, etc in order to calculate the correct diameter of goose neck (vent)?
Thanks a lot,...

I check the web site,...
