I’m shopping for a cyclone dust control system and it seems that I need to know what the piping layout will be and calculated static pressure values in order to determine the size of the cyclone.
Small shop, sharing space with a car and laundry area in my 22’x20′ garage with 92″ ceiling. Cyclone will have to be in NE corner with TS, BS, bench sander on south wall and SCMS 6′ away from center of south wall (where drop can be out of the way of sectional garage door on east side).
Google has not been helpful in looking for “how to” articles.
Who can point me to a resource for layout tips and SP calcs?
Thanks,
BruceT

I believe when I got my Oneida system, they (with my help on basic locations and machines) did this for me.
Following up on Blewcrowe's post, here's the page for Oneida's design information. They will design one for you if you're buying one of their cyclones. But they also have a DIY link on the left-hand side, which will lead you to this Design and Installation Guide.
Good afternoon Bruce,
Penn State Industries will also help with the design (They may charge a nominal fee but this would be applied against purchase of equipment and duct. Also check out Amazon or local Woodcraft, Rockler stores for excellent books on that subject. There are also several other threads on this subject (see "Penn State Cyclone....Dice Roll under power tools and Machinery ) You may have to click on the subject header to get the full list. A search on the forum will also bring up more info.
Good luck,
Bruce B.
Spiral Manufacturing has a significant description of static pressure, air flows, etc specified by pipe diameter, radius of elbows, etc. As much as they have tried to simplify it, it is still quite technical.
