Pressure Independent Round Damper “K” Factor
Pressure Independent Round Air Dampers utilize “K” factors to correctly measure and
read CFM values. These “K” factors represent the airflow that will pass through a given
size damper at 1” of velocity pressure. These “K” factors must be programmed into the
control system for all pressure independent dampers. See Table 1-3 for a list of “K”
factors by round damper diameter used.
