Temperature Correction Factor

A temperature correction factor (TCF) is used to normalize the flowrate.

Example: A system running at 200 GPD @ 35C with a CA membrane must now be normalized to 25C.
From table: TCF=1.2894
The flowrate (or flux value) is divided by the TCF to obtain the normalized flow rate:
Normalized flow = 200 gpd / 1.2894 = 155 gpd @ 25C
TFM: Thin-Film Membrane.
Temperature Correction Factors @ 77F (25C)
