Note: When calculating static pressure loss to determine if multiple lines can be left open at the same time, only include the main line numbers once.
5.Compare the total static pressure loss for that line to the closest CFM given in the
Performance Curve section on the Machine Data Sheet for your dust collector on Page 6 (Model G0442) or Page 9 (Model G0601).
Example: The Model G0601 Data Sheet Performance Curve is illustrated in Figure 56. Find 4.4 on the Static Pressure axis (the amount of total static pressure loss calcu- lated in Figure 55), then refer to the closest value on the CFM axis—approximately 1785 CFM.

The 1785 CFM for the static pressure loss of the line connected to the router is well above the 220 CFM requirement of that machine.
—If the CFM for the static pressure loss is above the requirement of the machine con- nected to the end of that branch line, then dust collection will most likely be success- ful. Congratulations! You've just designed your own dust system.
—If the CFM for the static pressure loss is below the requirement of the machine, then that line will not effectively collect the dust. You must then modify some of the factors in that line to reduce the static pressure loss. Some of the ways to do this include:
1)Installing larger duct, 2) reducing amount of flexible duct used, 3) increasing machine dust port size, 4) moving machine closer to dust collector to eliminate duct length, and
5)reducing 90˚ elbows or replacing them with 45˚ elbows.
