Microfluidic Calculator | Dolomite Microfluidics

Microchannels Flow Rate and Pressure Calculator

Using this wizard, you can determine the back pressure generated in a constant flow rate system or the flow rate generated in a fixed pressure system, as well as the Reynolds number.

Please click on the NEXT button to start using the wizard.

NOTE: The calculations are based on the Poiseuille formula for frictional pressure drop in a channel with laminar flow.
