DUCT STATIC PRESURE = FRICTION LOSS + DYNAMIC LOSS

SPF = FRICTION LOSS
SPD = DYNAMIC LOSS

1. Enter number for L in inches

2. Enter Duct Diameter
3. Enter Velocity
4. Enter C - dynamic loss coefficient
5. Then get SP for each piece of duct
6. Do this for each duct piece to get Total SP for system
