B FITTING LOSS TABLES COEFFICIENT

Duct Cross Section to which Coefficient "C" is referenced is at the top of each table. Negative numbers indicate that the static regain exceeds the dynamic pressure loss of the fitting.
Table 14-10 LOSS COEFFICIENTS, ELBOWS Use the velocity pressure (Vp) of the upstream section. Fitting loss (TP) = C x Vp A. Elbow, Smooth Radius (Die Stamped), Round(2)

B. Elbow, Round, 3 to 5 pc--90o(2)

C. Elbow, Round, Mitered (15)

U.S. Units For Standard Air:

Re = 8.56 DV

(Metric Units)
(Re = 66.4 DV)

where: D = duct diameter, inches (mm) V = duct velocity, fpm (m/s) For Rectangular Ducts:

NOTES FOR THIS FIGURE ONLY: A) See Page 5.14 to calculate splitter vane spacing.
B) CR = Curve Ratio

C) Use correction factors in Note 1 on Page 14.19 for elbows other than 90.
