Measure the distance across the duct in inches then multiply by 3 14159 if the duct is circular to find its circumference in inches.
Square duct to round duct formula.
To then convert that to volume you multiply the resulting area by the length.
2001 ashrae fundamentals p.
Area surface area of duct in square feet.
Area pi d 12 l where.
Measured in inches of water column in wc it acts equally in all directions and is independent of velocity.
The table is based on the ducts friction loss formula.
Air duct also termed as ductulator is a passage that is used to provide fresh air into rooms buildings etc air ducts may be in circular square and in rectangular shapes.
The area will cover a two dimensional slice of the duct.
Divide by 144 to determine how many square feet are in the duct area.
Step 5 select a size of square duct that has the same area.
Equivalent round duct size for a rectangular duct equivalent round duct size for a rectangular duct can be expressed as deq 1 3 x a x b 0 625 a b 0 25 where deq equivalent diameter a one dimension of rectangular duct inches b adjacent side of rectangular duct inches equations for flat oval ductwork.
Duct areas in square feet can be calculated by using geometry rules for round areas.
Then measure the length of the duct in inches and multiply by the circumference.
This online air duct calculator is used to calculate the velocity of air flow feet per minute fpm and feet per second fps through any shaped circle square or rectangle ductulator with either diameter sides or area.
This is the number of square inches in the duct area.
Static pressure is the pressure that causes air in the duct to.
The rectangular dimensions and the air flow volume are adapted to the equal friction loss.
Static pressure is the outward push of air against duct surfaces and is a measure of resistance when air moves through an object like duct work.
The equivalent diameter is the diameter of a circular duct or pipe that gives the same pressure loss as an equivalent rectangular duct or pipe.
The table below can be used to compare equivalent diameters for rectangular and round circular ducts.
12 inches per foot.
