Duct Airflow from Geometry

Airflow from measured velocity and rectangular or round duct size. Circular pipe continuity is also FLUID-01.

Thermal & HVACFluid & Pressure

Airflow from measured velocity and rectangular or round duct size. Circular pipe continuity is also FLUID-01.

App id: THERM-02. Reference version 1.0.

How to fill it

Fill the inputs. The tool shows the outputs.

On the tool screen, Calc is the working sheet. Presets stores values you reuse. Reference is the formula, assumptions, and provenance below.

Formula

Q = v W H  or  Q = v π D² / 4

Inputs

NameUnit
Air velocity (camera)ft/min
Width (optional)in
Height (optional)in
Diameter (optional)in

Outputs

NameUnit
Airflow (hero result)ft3/min

Diagnose

Observations are context. They do not pass or fail a structure. See Diagnose.

WhenObservationSeverity
Air velocity < 0.3Low velocityinfo

Assumptions

  • Inside dimensions. No fitting or leakage correction.

Provenance

  • Same continuity as THERM-01 with geometry required. FLUID-01 is the circular-pipe form.
