Figs. 1 and 2, covering volume ranges of 10 to 2000 cfm, and 1000 to 100,000 cfm, respectively. These charts were developed by the A.S.H.V.E. Re search Laboratory.1 They do not include any safely factor.
The charts, Figs. 1 and 2, were constructed from the basic flow equation for the pressure loss in circular ducts (see Chapter 4):
