All of the mathematical expressions derived for filter head loss as the filter progressively clogs are based on the Kozeny–Carman equation. Each experimenter, however, has adapted the equation to fit the results of his particular experiments. The authors review the suppositions and the applicability of the variants of the K–C equation.
