Quick Tips for Using the Airflow Velocity Calculator
Our Airflow Velocity Calculator streamlines HVAC design—here’s how to use it effectively:
- Input Essentials: Enter your airflow rate (e.g., 600 CFM) and duct cross-sectional area (e.g., 1 sq ft) to compute velocity (e.g., 600 FPM) accurately.
- Unit Flexibility: Switch between imperial (CFM, FPM) and metric (m³/h, m/s) units to match your project—consistency ensures reliable results.
- Optimize Airflow: Adjust airflow or duct size to achieve desired velocity (e.g., 800-1200 FPM for residential HVAC)—ideal for balancing efficiency and noise.
For example, an airflow of 1200 CFM through a duct with a 2 sq ft area results in a velocity of 600 FPM. Try it now with your own duct specifications to design an efficient HVAC system!
