How To Work Out Open Area of Perforated Liner?

Open area will influence production and sand filtration. It is determined by hole diameter, the number of holes and the diameter of the liner. The following formula will tell you how to calculate the open area.

  • N = N = \cfrac{12×D×C} {25×d<sup>2</sup>}
  • N refers to the number of holes per foot.
  • D refers to the outside diameter of the liner in inches.
  • C refers to the required open area (percent of surface area).
  • d refers to the diameter of hole in inches.
