User Guide
This tool will calculate the volumetric flow rate in any units from the specified velocity of a substance flowing through a rectangular duct of a defined width and height. For each new calculation a unique conversion scale will be generated for the range of flow speeds and volumetric flow rates for the length and width specified.
Formula
The volumetric flow rate formula used by this calculator is:
Q = v · w · h
Derived from:
Q = v · A
A = w · h
Symbols
- Q = Volume flow rate
- v = Flow velocity
- A = Cross-sectional area
- w = Width
- h = Height
n.b. This formula assumes uniform flow conditions within the entire cross-sectional area of duct, without any friction losses near to surfaces.
Flow Velocity Measured
Enter the speed at which the substance is moving.
Width
Enter the internal width of the section of duct being used to measure flow.
Height
Enter the internal height of the section of duct being used to measure flow.
Volumetric Flow Rate Calculation
This is the volumetric amount of substance that will flow pass in a unit of time.
