When calculating the free area necessary to meet the
make-up air requirements of the enclosure,
consideration must be given to the blockage effects of
louvers, grills and screens.
Screens must have a minimum mesh size of 1/4"
(6.4mm). If the free area through a louver or grill is not
known ducts should be sized per Table 1.
