How do you calculate CFM for round ducts?
To calculate CFM, you need to know the size of your heating or cooling unit in tons. Multiply this number by 400, which is the average output of an HVAC unit. Then divide by the total square footage of your home. This will give you the multiplier for all your rooms’ CFM.
How do you calculate round duct size?
How to Calculate Round Duct Area to Square Feet
- Measure the diameter of the round duct across its widest point.
- Divide the diameter by 2 to get the radius of the duct.
- Multiply the radius by itself to get the square of the radius.
- Multiply the square of the radius by 3.14 to get the area of the duct in square inches.
What size should my return air duct be?
Generally, if you are using a Duct Sizing Chart or calculator (such as the Trane Ductulator), size the re- turn ducts for 0.05 inches/100 ft (0.40 Pa/m) based on the expected airflow through that return air duct. The total sum of air from all the returns should be at least 250 CFM/nominal ton (33 l/s per-kW).
How many CFM is a 12 inch round duct?
715 cfm
The rule of thumb for a 12 inch duct is 715 cfm.
How do you measure a round duct?
For a circular duct, hold the measuring tape vertically at one side, and sight across the top and bottom, then note the measurement as the diameter of a circular duct.
What is the diameter of an equivalent duct?
The equivalent diameter is the diameter of a circular duct or pipe that gives the same pressure loss as an equivalent rectangular duct or pipe. The table below can be used to compare equivalent diameters for rectangular and round circular ducts. The table is based on the ducts friction loss formula.

Which is more efficient a rectangular duct or a circular duct?
Note! – due to larger circumference and more friction area related to air volume – a circular duct is always more efficient than a rectangular duct. Make Shortcut to this Calculator on Your Home Screen? 2000 cfm (0.94 m3/s) of air flows through a 10 x 12 inches rectangular duct.
What can a rectangular stack duct be used for?
Curbside pickup available. Master Flow’s Rectangular Stack Duct is used for HVAC system applications between wall studs as supply and return ducts, and to vent range hoods, kitchen and bath fans between walls as well .
