Percent Penetration
def: a measurement of filtration effectiveness. It is the amount of filtrate which gets past your filter. An example: to test you run 100 grams of sand into a vent line and then through a filter, after the filter you collect 2 grams of sand. (For this example we will assume there are NO other losses in the system.) You thus have a 2 percent penetration.

A pretty dry definition for what may be one of the most salacious-sounding terms in aerosol science! Plus it is one I know the Lounge can do great things with.

Take it away lounge! I'm throwin' ya a bone here. ;)

of the vent line?

4. a question
X X

If above is the entire area and ...

X X

Is the entire amount of penetration

Would that be about 50%. Men would probably say yes, women would say something entirely different.

6. I may be reading this wrong, but to me
that looks like 100% penetration!

I don't know if it would help us at ALL to go any deeper into your line of reasoning. Oh my. :blush:

9. I believe myj post was somehow changed by the system
the upper x's were supposed to be very wide apart and the lower x's like where they are.

:shrug:

8. Talk of penetration makes it harder
to do so, as I don't know much about football at all.

10. I hate using filters
They interfere with penetration percentage.

There's a reason there's no filter on a good cigar.

IBTL too!

14. you have to get your rod in there
...and run your welder hot enough if you want good penetration, just don't slow down too much, you'll blow a hole right through it. :evilgrin:

16. That percentage would depend upon the arousal quotient
as well as the lubrication factor. There's also a direct correlation between the rigidity ratio and the measurements of the instrument used to determine percentage of penetration. The results so far have been very satisfying. But more experimentation is needed in order to demonstrate the most effective method to achieve optimal results.
