Fan Blade Pitch Angle and No of Blade

It is the angle of fan’s blades (measured in degrees) and it is in conjunction with

the fan motor,

Fan Blade pitch It is show how well fan is able to circulate air.

Higher blade pitches typically move more air in cubic feet per minute, or CFM.

The optimal blade pitch for a ceiling fan is between 12 and 15 degrees.

It can contribute to the amount of air movement as well.

Mr Jignesh ji,

Good Morning!

I am really thankful to your kind honour for utilizing your notes. I am making a dictionary of your notes for the
students I teach sometimes in Marine Academies as visiting faculty. I did my Engineering in 1985 from Indian
Naval Ship Valsura [Naval Engineering Institute] – Electrical Base, Jamnagar.

Regards,
Dr Mukesh Kumar
