System Noise In the chart below three different fans were connected
to varying lengths of 3" and 4" piping. The end of the pipe
was left open. As the piping length increased, the airflow
decreased. Remember that piping restriction is due to the fittings
and the piping. Visit Piping
Pressure Drop page. By choosing a length of piping The maximum airflow is given for 3"
and 4" piping depending upon the length of pipe and the type of fan that
is used.
The next chart shows the maximum airflow for 4" and 6" pipe for different lengths of pipe and three different fans. The end of the pipe is open.
The charts below depict the amount of airflow moving through a short three foot length of piping Pressure Drop Table for 100 feet of 6" piping at different airflows
The above chart indicates that 0.2" of static pressure in a system will allow almost 40 cfm of airflow from a 3 foot length of 2" pipe. The following chart gives the amount of airflow that would happen for 3" and 4" unrestricted pipe depending upon the pressure in the system piping that this pipe is connected to. If a sealed crawl space was going to be de-pressurized and an open 3" pipe was routed into the crawl space from the system piping that maintained 0.2 inches of static pressure you could expect to have 60 cfm from a 3" pipe and 95 cfm from a 4" pipe.
