\"WhenAir velocity is the speed of air moving through the ductwork. It affects the amount of dust that can be conveyed through the system. The size of the ductwork, the type of collected dust, and the airflow rate determine the ideal velocity. This velocity within the system is measured in feet per minute, or ft\/m.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
