*** Reference Ashrae application chapter 49.14 2019 ASHRAE Handbook—HVAC Applications (SI) table 8‐ Max Recommended Velocities
Notes:
1. Branch ducts should have airflow velocities of about 80% of values listed.
2. Velocities in final runouts to outlets should be 50% of values or less. ***
3. Elbows and other fittings can increase airflow noise substantially, depending on
type. Thus, duct airflow velocities should be reduced accordingly
