Two 8” pipes have approximately the same volume of five 6” pipes. To keep static approximately .1 in. wc, the numbers were adjusted to handle same CFM .1 in. wc.
Example:
6”pipe=100CFM.1in.wcX5=500CFM
8”pipe=240CFM.1in.wcX2=480CFM.
Square inches adjusted to match sizes with Table 1 — Branch values.
