I have wondered how much airflow is the norm for a commercially built paint booth.
Watching video of painting in a commercial booth there is little over spray in the air, something I can only dream of,lol..
I came across the OSHA minimum requirement for airflow in a paint booths.
OSHA 1910.107 requires 100 lineal feet per minute for non electrostatic paint.
To calculate this flow rate take the width measurement in feet and times it by the height measurement in feet. The length of the booth does not matter, just the cross section.
example: 14''w x 9.5h = 130.5 x 100 = 13,500 cfm.
No wonder I am in a fog, my setup moves 2500 cfm @.5"wc. and my "booth" would require 16,000!
