    Procedure for Air in Ductwork; Examples of AirDia, Wcalc and AirPD
    In these examples, we will use Global Inputs (applicable to all calcs) for Design Static,
    Kinematic Viscosity and Specific Volume. They are "absolute references" in the UDF's.
    Global Inputs
    Design Static Press Loss: 0.08 "wg / 100'
    KINEMATIC VISCOSITY: 0.0001623 FT^2/SEC
    Air Spec Vol: 13.10616 Ft^3/# DA
    For each leg, we can input a flow (CFM) and Absolute Roughness in columns B and C respectively.
    The Duct Diameter is automatically calculated in in column D
    For a Rectangular equivalent, enter the height in column F and the width is calculated in column G
    The results are verified by calculating the actual pressure drop and the equivalent diameter
    UDF Verification Verification
    UDF INPUT A Wcalc Test Area UDF Equiv Dia

    Likewise the Capacity can be calculated using the diameter calculated above and compared
    to the flow from column B above for verification.
