Tidal volume is the total amount of air in your lungs that is inhaled/exhaled at one point. Tidal volume is found by using a machine to calculate it. Or, it is:
Insiratory reserve volume+expiratory reserve volume+tidal volume+residual volume.
REVISION
Your definition of tidal volume is correct...it is the amount of air that moves in or out of the lungs during normal inspiration or expiration, but the equation you gave (IRV + Vt +ERV + RV) is for Total Lung Capacity.
I don't believe that there is an equation to calculate tidal volume. It can be calculated, however, by subtracting your average ERV (expiratory reserve volume) from your average EC (expiratory capacity). Using a spirometer, perform the procedure to get your expiratory capacity. Do this 3 times and figure the average. Then perform the procedure to get your expiratory reserve volume and repeat 3 times to figure your average. Then, as I mentioned in the 1st line of this paragraph, subtract your average ERV from your average EC.

∙ 9y agoTo calculate the Tidal Volume in a cat is to take the volume of air inhaled and exhaled with each breath. Multiply this by 6. This will tell you the size of bag you will need. It usually is 10-20 ml./kg.

What is age-related parenchymal volume loss discovered on a cat scan of the head?
Age-related parenchymal volume loss is often discovered by CAT scans of the head. It is a natural loss of brain volume that sometimes occurs with age.
What is the density of an average cat?
The average cat weighs 8-10 pounds. That's 3.5 to 4.5 kilograms (35-45 grams); for the sake of singularity, let's go with 40 grams. Density = mass / volume, but there is no known measurement for cat density. So we'll go with what this guy got:http://www.evilmadscientist.com/2007/computing-the-volume-of-a-cat/He got 648 cubic inches, so in metric that is 10.6188 litres.The average cat (or at least his) is 10.62 litres. Hope this helps!
How do you calculate diesel consumption for cat 966?
Calculating diesel consumption for a cat 966 varies on many factors. A generalized calculation would be low 2.1-2.6 GPH, medium 2.6-3.1 GPH, and high 3.1-3.8 GPH.

How do you calculate minute respiratory volume?
Tidal Volume x Respiratory Rate
What two factors numbers are used to calculate ventilation rate?
final tidal volume - initial tidal volume time taken to breathe the final volume should be the larger number and the initial is when the lungs are empty
What is the volume of air inhaled or exhaled per breath?
The amount, called tidal volume, is basally about half a litre/500ml. But it, multiplies upon exertion.
What happened to the tidal volume during hyperventilation?
