Does anyone have a chart of what a straight pipe flows in cfm?
Like 3 inch inside diam.? 4 inch? Etc? Thanks:)

Pipe flow refers to the movement of fluid (such as water or gas) through a closed system of pipes or channels.
Cubic feet per minute is a unit of measurement used to express the volume of air or gas flow per minute. It is commonly used in HVAC systems to measure the amount of air being circulated.
The formula for calculating pipe flow in CFM is: Q = A x V, where Q is the flow rate in cubic feet per minute, A is the cross-sectional area of the pipe in square feet, and V is the velocity of the fluid in feet per minute.
The factors that can affect pipe flow include the diameter and length of the pipe, the properties of the fluid being transported (such as viscosity and density), and the pressure and temperature of the system.
Pipe flow information in CFM is useful for designing and maintaining efficient piping systems, as well as for troubleshooting and identifying potential issues with flow rates. It can also be used to determine the appropriate size of pipes needed for a specific flow rate.
