If you want the area of the side of a air cleaner, you basicly have a
rectangle that is curled into a loop. Therefore you need the circumference
of the filter (the distance all the way around). You can do all the math,
or just take a flexible tape measure, measure all the way around and
multiply by the height. Then you will have surface area of the sides. If
you don't want to measure around your air cleaner you can just take the
(diameter x pi)= circumference. Then multiply that by your height. (10" x
3.14)3"= surface area of 10"x3" air cleaner.
(14" x 3.14)3"= surface area of 14"x3" air cleaner.
Whatever you method, it's not to bad to calculate.
Glad to be of service.
