A set of diagrams for estimating flow coefficients and exponents in the power law flow equation for cracks are presented. The diagrams are primarily intended for those who perform infiltration calculations by hand or by using a computer program for single and multi-zone infiltration and ventilation calculations. The error introduced by the estimation technique is compensated for by means of a correction coefficient with aspecific value in different pressure difference intervals. A computer program performing the calculations behind the diagrams is available for public use.
