SUMMARY
The discussion centers on a duct sizing chart that highlights pressure loss, particularly noting a change in the upper pressure loss limit to 0.7 Pa/m for ducts larger than Ø800. This change is attributed to velocity issues rather than pressure losses. Participants mention using a duct sizing calculator, specifically a rotary slide rule, which lacks similar markings. The chart can be accessed at a provided link, which contains relevant information for understanding duct design limits.
