HVAC filter bank face area calculator

Calculate total face area and mean face velocity with your own figures.

Your numbers

Use the units shown. Results update as you change valid inputs.

Use total face area and mean face velocity to compare changes to your inputs. The method and limits below explain the scope.

Calculation method

Calculation method

Total face area (m²)

Sum parallel filter face areas; divide airflow by that total area.

Mean face velocity (m/s)

Sum parallel filter face areas; divide airflow by that total area.

Symbols and units
a
Filter width (mm)
b
Filter height (mm)
c
Parallel filters (count)
d
Total airflow (m³/s)

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • User-supplied measurements and assumptions; Sum parallel filter face areas; divide airflow by that total area. Supported limits: Finite numeric values bounded to 1e9 magnitude; lists and tables contain 1–100 records unless a stricter bound is stated. Inputs use the units shown. Lists explicitly paired by a method must have matching lengths; independent polynomial coefficient vectors may differ. Respect stated physical, interpolation, policy and computational domain limits.
