This work presents experimental results on pickup velocity (critical velocity) measurements for a variety of particulate solids. The present experiments together with previously published experiments of a number of researchers encompass about 100 measurements of 24 materials for a wide range of particle sizes, shapes and densities. Based on the experimental results, three zones are defined by establishing simple relationships between the Reynolds and Archimedes numbers. The empirical relationships were further modified by taking into account the pipe diameter and particle shape (sphericity). The three-zone model was shown to reasonably correlate to Geldart's classification groups.

... When the airflow speed reaches a certain level, the particles will be transported by the airflow, that is, the suspension speed [28]. There are many formulas for calculating the suspension speed [29][30][31] of particles in pneumatic conveying. The regional suspension velocity formula and its applicable particle size method are the most extensive, the specific formula is as follows: ...
