Calculations
Velocity Pressure (IN. W.C.) = Total Pressure - Static Pressure
Velocity Pressure (IN. W.C.) = (CFM/Effective Area/4005)2
Volume (CFM) =

IN. W.C. X 4005 X Effective Area

Velocity (CFM) = FPM X Effective Area

Velocity (FPM) = CFM/Effective Area

Airflow Measuring Considerations

The Pitot tube is the primary standard used to calibrate all other airflow measuring devices. Therefore, it is a natural application for use in
devices that measure airflow in ducts and pipes for HVAC or industrial
processes. Since a single Pitot tube is greatly affected by variations of
the flow profile across the duct, multiple Pitots connected in an averaging arrangement will provide much greater accuracy and repeatability
for control purposes. Even multiple averaging Pitots are affected by
turbulence so straightening vanes are incorporated into ULTRAC Airflow
Measuring Stations to prevent turbulence-produced errors.
The figures below illustrate the fixed traverse pattern used to determine
the layout of measuring points in ULTRAC AMS thus providing the fixed
traverse which is standard in the industry.
