Produced by Leslie Yew of Prima Usaha, Sabah, Malaysia

Circular equivalent diameter is calculated from de = 1.30 x ((a x b)0.625) / (a + b)0.25)

Notes
Cells that are colored white are editable

Red cells in Table B have duct aspect ratio of 1

A usually [0.01] to [1.0] but [0.1] recommended

C FPM above 2200 gets very noisy
