HVAC Duct Calculator

Interactive equal-friction airflow and velocity calculator

Galvanized round duct · standard air
HVACDUCT CALCULATOR
Drag the friction ring to change airflow. The friction and velocity scales are calibrated to the same equal-friction relationship.

How to Use the HVAC Duct Calculator

Enter airflow and friction rate to determine an equivalent round duct size, velocity, and practical rectangular duct options.

What This Calculator Provides

  • Round duct diameter
  • Suggested nominal duct size
  • Air velocity
  • Friction rate
  • Equivalent rectangular duct dimensions

Equal Friction Method

The equal friction method sizes ductwork around a consistent friction rate while maintaining the airflow required by the system.
