Westfall Headloss Calculator Spreadsheet.
Inspired by studies of the F18 fighter jet, the fins of the 3050 mixer create focused turbulence to achieve full mixing in 10 diameters.
The Westfall Model 3050 Mixer was developed for situations with low available head. The mixer consists of a length of pipe fitted with four vanes. The tapered and curved vanes create vortices and multiple zones of turbulence that intersect to turn flow inside out. This produces good mixing while reducing headloss.
