How To Calculate Sizing For Fabric Duct Systems

The Prihoda online calculator is a helpful tool for initial sizing.

First, select the duct shape and the unit of measure (cfm, inch, fpm), then enter the required airflow volume.

Adjust the size slider until the velocity slider turns green. Typical systems are sized for inlet velocities approximately 1000-1200 fpm. Sound-sensitive applications should be sized for inlet velocities lower than 1000 fpm, typically 800-900 fpm.

For example, an application requires 2000 cfm supply air volume. Enter that value into the Airflow input. Then adjust the Size slider until the Velocity shows in the green range. For 2000 cfm, this will be 16-20” diameter.
