Fan AMCA Classification

Fan classification established by AMCA.

AMCA - Air Movement and Control Association International fan-class standards are established to simplify the specification of fans. AMCA fan-class standards are based on fan horsepower required per square foot of outlet area representing the structural requirements imposed on a fan for a given set of operating conditions.

AMCA class limits for a double-width airfoil centrifugal fan:
