Filter Drag

Filter drag is the filter resistance across the fabric-dust layer. The equation for filter drag essentially gives the pressure drop occurring per unit velocity. It is a function of the quantity of dust accumulated on the fabric and is given as:


The true filtering surface of a woven filter is not the bag itself, but the dust layer. Dust bridges the pores or openings in the weave, plugging the openings with particles, increasing the drag rapidly.
