How to use Fig. 7-4
Example: A rectangular duct measuring 40 x 200
corresponds to a circular duct having a diameter of 90.
1) To determine the intersection (A) of
the short side (40) and the long side
(200).
2) Next, to determine the line (B) going
through the intersection (A), and
determine the intersection (D) with
the diagonal line (C).
The figure (D) indicates the corresponding
diameter, which is 90 in this case.
[3] Local Pressure Loss in Duct
1) Local loss coefficient (also referred to as “local resistance
coefficient”)
At bends or portions where cross sections change, losses
different in nature from those in straight potions will occur
due to eddy currents, etc. These pressure losses in places
other than straight portions can be expressed by the
following formula.
Where, : Local Loss Coefficient
V: Wind Velocity
..........................................
[m/s]
* This is the velocity of the upper part of the local
area excluding the merging point.
Pv: Dynamic Pressure
...................................
[Pa]
2) Calculation of pressure loss at a local area in a duct Example:
Consider a case in which the duct bends as follows.
A round bend with the circular
cross section
[Conditions] R/d = 1.5 V = 5.0 (m/s)
From Table 7-1,
= 0.15
From the above,
P =
(Local Loss Coefficient) x Pv (Dynamic
Pressure) = 0.15 x 15 = 2.25 [Pa]
The right side in Table 7-1 indicates the value of the local
pressure loss in this particular part converted to a duct
diameter. ( : Case in which PVC pipe is used)

Table 7-2
Table 7-2 is used to convert
the resistance at each
component of the duct to
the straight pipe length.

A perpendicular line is dropped
