    Duct Pressure Loss Calculations

    Uploaded by

    Dinesh
    Straight ductwork is sized using duct sizing charts based on volume flow rate and allowable pressure loss. Fittings are sized using pressure loss factors that relate the pressure loss to factors like the velocity of air flow. An example is provided to demonstrate how to size different sections of ductwork and fittings to handle a given air flow rate within specified pressure loss limits, taking into account the individual pressure losses of each component.

    DUCT SIZING
    Duct Sizing
    Although the same theory applies to all components the
    straight ductwork and duct fittings are sized using
    different techniques.

    Straight ductwork is sized using a duct sizing chart.

    Fittings are sized using pressure loss factors (
