Comparison of a new critical velocity Vcrit equation, derived for horizontal pneumatic conveying, with literature equations shows that the new dimensionless velocity group, which describes the ratio of momentum of the strand to its resistance, correctly defines conditions that result in plugging of the pipeline. This equation for Vcrit is a generalization of known empirical correlations which are valid only for particular regimes of variables. The blower characteristics exert a strong influence on measured Vcrit and installations designed to prove pipeline characteristics should be equipped with either a blower with a steep characteristic or an air supply controlled by a Laval nozzle.
