Duct sizing manual formula and methodsfriction chart
180 CFM with a 0.05 friction rate and 240 CFM at 0.1 friction rate. That’s the 8” flex duct CFM. How many CFM is a 10 round duct? 325 CFM to 420 CFM. Again, knowing the friction loss is essential to sizing a duct and knowing how many CFM are required to meet the room’s lo...
A duct size calculator, commonly known as a ductulator, depends on factors like the size of the space you’re heating or cooling, air flow velocity, friction loss, and available static pressure of the HVAC system.
