Industrial Dust Collection CFM Calculation Sheet

Sizing a dust collector begins with understanding total airflow requirements across every pickup hood and machine in your facility. If you under-size your system, dust settles in your pipes and escapes into the shop. If you over-size it, you waste horsepower and conditioned plant air.

Our free CFM Calculation Sheet walks you through finding the correct volume for your plant layout:

• Machine Hood Requirements: Baseline CFM guidelines for metal grinding stations, CNC plasma tables, saws, and automated machinery drops.
• Duct Branch Sizing: Calculating cross-sectional duct area and required conveying velocities (FPM) to keep dust moving.
• Total System Summation: How to apply diversity factors and calculate total static pressure drop across your main duct run.
