RP-1488 — Laboratory Testing Of Flat Oval Duct Fittings To Determine Loss Coefficients

Click here to purchase
Pressure loss coefficients were measured for several straight body flat oval tees and laterals. For diverging flows a power law model was used to correlate branch loss coefficients as a function of branch-to-common area and flow rate ratio. The corresponding main loss coefficients for tees and laterals were -0.167 and -0.216, respectively. For converging flows a logarithmic model was used to correlate branch and main loss coefficients as functions of branch-to-common and main-to-common flow rate ratio, respectively, and pertinent geometry characteristics of the fitting. In every instance the tests were performed in accordance with ASHRAE Standard 120-2008.
