Centred rectangular duct transition sheet area — first end height scenarios.
How does changing first end height affect centred rectangular duct transition sheet area when the other inputs stay fixed?
What this decision changes
This measured quantity or supplied dimension enters the method on its stated unit basis. Other inputs stay fixed so its effect can be separated from net deductions, stock constraints or purchase rounding. Method basis: Face area = (width1 + width2) × hypot(length, (height1 − height2)/2) + (height1 + height2) × hypot(length, (width1 − width2)/2). Does not select transitions, airflow, pressure loss, sheet gauge or an unfoldable cutting layout.
The focus is first end height in the first repeated measured entry. Other repeated entries keep their own supplied values.
Evaluate your supplied alternatives
Start with your measured plan and selected product data. The initial values and range are illustrative. Each scenario changes only first end height in the first repeated entry; the other entered values stay fixed.

Read the evaluated results
Read calculated demand, whole purchases and exact detail lines separately. This specific input may change quantity continuously, cross a purchase step or make the stated geometry or stock fit invalid.
- Replace every illustrative baseline measurement and selected product value with the inputs for your actual task.
- Enter a comparison range on the focused input's stated unit and quantity basis.
- Review rejected combinations and use the exact detail lines to distinguish measured demand from whole purchases.
- Open an evaluated scenario in the full calculator to save its original inputs and quantity breakdown to a browser material project.
Keep the comparison within scope
Compare measurements or already specified alternatives. Quantity sensitivity does not establish material suitability or construction requirements.
Does not select transitions, airflow, pressure loss, sheet gauge or an unfoldable cutting layout.
Only the listed samples are evaluated. Intermediate values, alternate constraints and global cutting optimality are not inferred from the graph.
