Open area = hole count × π × hole diameter²/4; open percentage = open area/gross area × 100; retained mass = retained area × thickness × supplied density.Open area = hole count × π × hole diameter²/4; open percentage = open area/gross area × 100; retained mass = retained area × thickness × supplied density. Does not determine sound absorption, ventilation performance, fire rating or panel strength.

Geometric open area: 7.85 %

Total hole area
0.08 m²
Retained solid area
0.92 m²
Retained solid mass
