Equivalent Duct Length Duct Diameter 3" Duct Sizing Equivalent Duct Length (EDL): The Equivalent Duct Length Table (Figure B) shows you how to calculate the equivalent straight duct length in order to overcome static pressure. The EDL chart helps ensure fan performs as expected under the airflow resistance caused by the listed components. A ventilating fan’s performance is plotted on a graph called a performance curve.
