    Nozzle Total Flow Area (TFA)

    Uploaded by

    MarcoAntonioSerranoBazan
    The document provides a reference table for calculating the total flow area (TFA) of nozzles based on nozzle size and number of nozzles. It explains that TFA is the sum of the individual nozzle areas and can be calculated using the formula for circular area. For nozzles specified by diameter in fractions of an inch, the table simplifies the calculation by providing pre-calculated TFA values. An example calculation is shown for a bit with a combination of nozzle sizes.

    Total Flow Area (TFA) is summation of nozzle areas which fluid can pass through. When you consider about the TFA, you need to
    count all nozzles that you have in a bit or a reamer. Where;
    Basically, you can determine flow area with a simple circle area formula.
    Area in square inch
    2 π is a constant which approximately equates to 3.14159.
    Flow Area = (π X D )/4
    D is diameter in inch
    Let’s make it easier for our life. Normally, a diameter of nozzle is reported in xx/32 inch. For example, a bit has 3 nozzles and each
    one of them has size of 20/32 inch.
    The formula above can be simplified like this. Where;

    2
    Area in square inch
    Flow Area = (N ) / 1303.8 N is nozzle size in number/32 inch.
    For instant, you use a bit that has a total of 5 nozzles. Three nozzles have a diameter of 10/32 inch and other 2 nozzles are 12/32 inch
    diameter. Determine the total flow area (TFA) of the bit.

    By the definition, you must sum every nozzle together in order to get the TFA; therefore, you can apply the formula above into this
    form.

    2 2 2 2 2
    Total Flow Area = (10 + 10 + 10 + 12 + 12 ) / 1303.8 = 0.451 inch

    Total flow area = 0.451 square inch
