Re: box filter air volume

[Wright Huntley <jwwiii at pacbell_net>]

Hi Ron,

Set your desired flow, and then invert a measuring cup, filled with water, 
over the standpipe. Measure about how long the cup takes to fill with air. 
A cup is 250 cc, so divide by 250 to get the cc/min.

By moderate, I mean not an excessive turbulence in a std. 10 gal tank such as one might use for killies..  I'm trying to get a handle on how many such filters I could run off of the various size linear piston pumps. I think they  are probably rated very conservatively.
