Hydraulic Diameter of Rectangular Ducts

Rectangular ducts and hydraulic diameter

Sponsored Links

Hydraulic diameter of rectangular ducts can be calculated as

d_h = 2 a b /(a + b) (1)

where

d_h = hydraulic diameter (mm, in)

a = width of the duct (mm, in)

b = height of the duct (mm, in)

Hydraulic diameter of some common rectangular ducts:

Hydraulic Diameter - d_h - (mm)
Width of Duct (mm)	Height of Duct (mm)
Width of Duct (mm)	100	150	200	250	300	400	500	600	800	1000	1200
200	133	171	200
