ASHRAE and the Air Distribution Institute (ADI) have released a new duct sizing calculator that will allow designers of HVAC air distribution systems to more accurately approximate duct sizes and calculate equivalent sizing of sheet metal duct vs. flex duct.
Three new fields indicating sizing of flexible duct under varying degrees of compression – 4 percent, 15 percent, and 30 percent – are ideal for designing installations in which optimal installation is not possible to give a more accurate design-to-installed performance correlation.
