I’m looking for the flow rate of a bypass filter assembly
that has two filters.
Each has an orifice 3/32 dia by .375 long.
Could someone tell me the flow rate using 15w40 oil?

Thanks
 
This is an involved calculation. Can only calc if system is in full bypass with no outlet flow restriction(provide by engine oiling gallery leakdown rate) which is not realistic. Need more info.

Let’s say 5w40 synthetic oil at engine operating temperature of (oil) 160 to 210 deg and inlet pressure of 30 to 60 lbs with no outlet (return) restriction.
Rough min/max flow

Suggest searching the internet for orifice flow equations and plug in your numbers.

I'm assuming the manufacturer of this system has already done the engineering to come up with the orifice size ... no?

Yes, this is a new industrial bypass filter assembly I found with no info tag.
I looked for the formula or chart to calculate myself but the site required me to subscribed for$$.
Once again a simple question with no simple answer!
Thanks
