SUMMARY
The discussion centers on calculating air flow through an 8mm diameter pipe at a pressure of 15 psi. The user seeks to determine the air flow rate to select an appropriate blower for a system with a main 50mm pipe and seven 8mm outlets spaced 300mm apart. Key calculations involve converting static pressure of 300mmwc to CFM, which is essential for accurate blower selection. Participants suggest using online calculators and emphasize the need for detailed system information to provide precise calculations.
