Duct Calculator is a focused duct sizing tool for HVAC engineers, designers and installation technicians. Enter what you know and get the duct dimensions, airflow or air velocity you need, without a chart or a slide rule. CALCULATIONS - Duct size: find the required duct dimensions from airflow (CFM) and air velocity (FPM). - Airflow: determine the airflow rate in CFM. - Air velocity: determine velocity in FPM to help verify system performance. DUCT SHAPES - Round ducts - Rectangular ducts - Results shown in inches WHO IT IS FOR - HVAC engineers and designers checking a duct size during design work. - Installation technicians and contractors who need a quick answer on site. - Students learning how airflow, velocity and duct size relate. WHERE IT HELPS - Sizing a new supply or return run from a known CFM. - Checking whether an existing duct keeps velocity within your target. - Comparing a round duct with a rectangular one when space is tight. SIMPLE BY DESIGN A clean interface with only the inputs you need, so you get an answer quickly on the job. Duct Calculator is free to use. An optional one-time upgrade removes ads. Results are intended as a calculation aid. Always confirm designs against applicable codes and project requirements. Download Duct Calculator and size your next duct run.
