MINE RESISTANCE

Domain	Definition
Mining	A. The resistance offered by a mine to the passage of an air current. The mine resistance is due to the friction of the air rubbing along the sides, top, and bottom of the air passages. To overcome this friction, the total ventilating pressure must be applied against the airway and this pressure must be equal to the mine resistance. Mine resistance is caused by the dragging of the air against the mine surfaces and other obstructions. The rougher the mine surfaces and the more the obstructions, the greater the resistance to the flow of air b. Includes any natural ventilation effect present and is calculated from air volume and total pressure. The standard practice in the United Kingdom is to express the resistance of a mine in square feet of equivalentorifice. (references)
