FAQ

What is the Weep Rate?

Weep Rate refers to the rate at which liquid leaks or weeps through the tray or packing of a distillation column. Weep Rate is usually measured using the Cubic Meter per Second for Volumetric Flow Rate. Note that the value of Weep Rate is always positive.

Can the Weep Rate be negative?

No, the Weep Rate, measured in Volumetric Flow Rate cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Weep Rate?

Weep Rate is usually measured using the Cubic Meter per Second[m³/s] for Volumetric Flow Rate. Cubic Meter per Day[m³/s], Cubic Meter per Hour[m³/s], Cubic Meter per Minute[m³/s] are the few other units in which Weep Rate can be measured.
