Mar 17, 2018 #2 rotw Mechanical May 25, 2013 1,143 What do you mean by the "knife break away"? sorry but am not familiar with that expression. Differential pressure is dictated by several factors such as number and geometry of teeth, gas density, clearance, etc. For further reference, see: Mechanical Design, 2nd Edition, P. Childs - Pub. El Sevier 2004 https://www.elsevier.com/books/mechanical-design/maekawa/978-0-7506-5771-6 Are you looking at mechanical strength calculations applied to the teeth with respect to a certain Delta P?

Mar 18, 2018 Thread starter #3 rQuestionEngineering Mechanical Aug 30, 2012 204 sorry...terms not standard. i mean breaking the sharp fins of the labyrinth. can the fins of the labyrinth break, if the differential pressure is too high ? Upvote 0 Downvote
