SCALE OF
AGITATION
Mix Scale is used to quantify the mixing intensity needed for a given process
as well as provide a frame of reference for mixing scale-up.
This 1-to-10 agitation scale is based on the impeller pumping capacity divided
by the tank cross-sectional area, resulting in a bulk fluid velocity. This velocity,
in feet/minute (ft/min.), then is divided by 6 to obtain the scale of agitation. This
simple 1-to-10 scale has been used for decades as a valuable tool for quickly
describing mixing intensity.
