Duct Bend Area Calculator
| Formula |
|---|
| Duct Bend Area = 2 × ((Bend Radius + (Width / 2)) × π × (Bend Angle / 360)) × Quantity |
| Where: Width = Width of the duct Bend Radius = Radius of the bend Bend Angle = Angle of the bend in degrees Quantity = Number of bends π = 3.14159 |
| Alternatively: Width = (Duct Bend Area / (2 × (Bend Radius + (Height / 2)) × π × (Bend Angle / 360) × Quantity) Bend Radius = (Duct Bend Area / (2 × π × (Bend Angle / 360) × Quantity)) – (Width / 2) |
| Example Input |
|---|
| Width: 12 inches |
| Height: 6 inches |
| Bend Radius: 8 inches |
| Bend Angle: 90 degrees |
| Quantity: 2 |
| Duct Bend Area: 150.80 square inches |
| Calculation Example |
|---|
| Firstly: Identify the given values: |
| Width = 12 inches, Height = 6 inches, Bend Radius = 8 inches, Bend Angle = 90 degrees, Quantity = 2 |
| Secondly: Apply the formula: |
| Duct Bend Area = 2 × ((Bend Radius + (Width / 2)) × π × (Bend Angle / 360)) × Quantity |
| Thirdly: Substitute the values: |
| Duct Bend Area = 2 × ((8 + (12 / 2)) × π × (90 / 360)) × 2 |
| Fourthly: Simplify the equation: |
| Duct Bend Area = 2 × (14 × π × 0.25) × 2 |
| Finally: Compute the final result: |
| Duct Bend Area = 150.80 square inches |
