CFM Measurements
Measure the area of the duct using the diagrams below for rectangular and circular ducts
(If the duct measurements are made in inches, divide the inches by 144 to get the area in
square feet). Plug the area value (in square feet) in the cubic equations below. Note that
the air velocity must be plugged into the cubic equations also.
Height r
Width
Cubic Equations: CFM (ft 3 /min) = Air Velocity (ft/min) x Area (ft 2 )
CMM (m 3 /min) = Air Velocity (m/sec) x Area (m 2 ) x 60
Maintenance
Battery Replacement
The 45158 has a low battery indicator (battery symbol). Important: Turn the meter off

For rectangular
ducts, multiply the
Height x Width
For circular ducts measure
the radius (r), square the
radius and multiply the
radius by
π
(3.14)
A =
π
r 2 (or A = 3.14 x r x r)
