Souders Brown k factor vs particle size?

Souders Brown k factor vs particle size?

Souders Brown k factor vs particle size?

(OP)
Does anyone have info relating the Souders Brown k factor to the particle size?  For example, if we use the commonly accepted k of 0.35 - what size of particle does this relate to?  

We often use higher K's in some services - does this mean we can accept larger particles or more particles being carried over?  Is there a particle distribution that has a cutoff for a certain k factor?

RE: Souders Brown k factor vs particle size?

I am not sure my knowledge good enough to comment your question.
Since there is no one would like to comment, I think the k (stoke 's  law terminal velocity constant)'s relation with diameter (d)
is k = 13310 * d^2 (d is particle size express in inches).

Thank you.
