Duct Flow Chart
Fanno flow is the adiabatic flow through a constant area duct where the effect of friction is considered.
Duct flow chart. The science of sag flex duct and air flow. Step one identify the volume of air that will be passing through the duct step two select the duct size from the table that can carry that volume of air step three if desired airflow exceeds the cfm rating increase to the next duct size step four listed cfm is based on typical field results and may vary install dampers step five if duct run exceeds 25 or has excessive. Using 1 pipe flowing at 5 gpm you would lose 1 72 feet of head pressure per hundred feet.
Turbulence drawing from acca s understanding the friction chart. It provides thermal and acoustical performance and promotes consistent temperatures for less wasted energy. Always stagger take off ducts by 12 to maintain pressure.
Use insulated duct or duct board in unheated spaces. Johns manville micro aire lp duct board is designed for use in manufactured and modular housing duct systems. Never locate ducts at the end of the trunk line run.
Weight of air photo by david hill. Friction loss flow charts. Flexible duct work must be stretched tightly for maximum air flow.
Top photo by energy vanguard. Typical environments that these flat nozzles are used for include house washing car washing truck washing parking garage cleaning awning cleaning water tower cleaning graffiti removal roof cleaning monument restoration and more. Our kb duct brand is a leader in standard modular ducting systems clamp together and flanged individual components and application specific duct solutions for industrial dust fume mist and air handling systems kb duct began as a part of our kirk blum brand which has been in operation since 1907.
Feet of head pressure loss per 100 ft. In order to maintain velocity reduce duct size. Micro aire type lp is protected against damage from microbial growth and the exterior surface is laminated with a tough fire resistant fsk facing.
Kb duct provides the widest range of ducting systems individual components and. The world s leading method for emergency eye irrigation. Compressibility effects often come into consideration although the fanno flow model certainly also applies to incompressible flow for this model the duct area remains constant the flow is assumed to be steady and one dimensional and no mass is added within the duct.
It includes sizing for metal ducts and for flexible duct when compressed at 4 15 and 30 straight line compression. Last take off run to be located 12 18 from end. The duct size calculator is a quick reference tool for approximating duct sizes and equivalent sizes of sheet metal duct versus flexible duct.
