Example:
Find the pressure drop across an 18" wide x 18" high Model CD80AF4 control damper handling 8570 CFM. From the Area Factor Table, area factor
is determined to be .58.
CFM X AREA FACTOR EQUALS CONVERSION VELOCITY
Therefore, CV (Conversion Velocity) = 8570 CFM x .58 = 5000. Using the pressure Drop Chart, pressure drop = .20 inches water gage.

NOTE: AREA FACTOR
1. Ratings are based on AMCA Standard 500 using Test Setup Apparatus Figure 5.3 (damper is installed with duct upstream and down
stream).
2. Static Pressure and Conversion Velocities are corrected to .075 Ib./cu. ft. air density.
