Useful Equations and Conversions
Area equation for rectangular or square ducts
Height (H)
Width (W)
Area (A) = Width (W) x Height (H)
Area equation for circular ducts
Radius
Area (A) = 6 x r²
Where 6 = 3.14 and r² = radius x
radius
Cubic equations
CFM (ft³/min) = Air Velocity (ft/min) x Area (ft²)
CMM (m³/min) = Air Velocity (m/sec) x Area (m²) x 60
NOTE: Measurements made in inches
must be converted to feet or meters before using the above formulae.
