Design Parameters – velocity, pressure losses – pipework, ductwork

1. Environmental Criteria

The following data provides the designer with general values for Component Design Parameters – velocity, pressure losses – for ductwork, pipework.

The table below provide only the estimated data Component Design Parameters in accordance with the latest industry regulations and standards.
In order to know the exact data, make calculations for your building, please contact us.
