(OP)
Is there a way to calculate the pressure drop over a basket strainer. I know that suppliers can, but I want to do some calculations in advance in Excel or something.

I assume that based on flow, viscosity, filter area and mesh widt, this should be possible. Fluids are heavy fuel oils (newtonian fluids).

Thanks,
DYV

RE: pressure drop filter

Depends on how much rubbish is has strained out at the time, but allow around a maximum of 25 psi loss at the design flow rate for a properly sized dirty strainer (dirty, not plugged).  Calculate K and then ratio to other flowrates using Q = K * 25^0.5
