In HVAC terminology, a diffuser's neck velocity is defined as the velocity of air traveling through the duct work to the air outlet or inlet. The difference of the face velocity is this is a measurement of fume hood performance.
When are air velocity measurement used
existing duct = velometer (Google velometer). Calculate velocity if volume is known and the size of duct volume (cubic feet) multiplied, square feet feet of duct, IE. 1000 cubic foot of air * 12" x12" square duct = 1000 cubic feet * 1sq. foot = 1000 feet per minute
1800 ft min
Not sure I understand your question, Velocity is the speed in feet per minute the air is moving. This is usually associated with the duct system. In a room the velocity of the air entering the room at the supply grille/register, would be about 500 to 700 fpm (feet per minute), in the occupied area of the room velocity should be less then 50 fpm.

The air is returning at a lower velocity, so you need a larger size duct.

To visually determine if there is enough air flow across a duct mounted electric heater, you should tape a piece of cardboard to it. A small piece that can flutter in the flow of the air. If it moves wildly, there is enough air.

An air duct is a duct through which air is forced or extracted, which forms a part of a building's ventilation system.

Short for cubic feet per minute, a measurement of the velocity at which air flows into or out of a space.
