Notes:

1. Branch ducts should have airflow velocities of about 80% of the values listed.2. Velocities in final runouts to outlets should be 50% of the values or less.

3. Elbows and other fittings can increase airflow noise substantially, depending on the type.

Therefore, duct airflow velocities should be reduced accordingly.
