VELOCITY PRESSURE / VELOCITY EXAMPLES
The Velocity Pressure/Velocity function uses an entered value to
calculate these four values:
1. Velocity (FPM)
Number entered is assumed to be
Velocity Pressure
2. Velocity (Pressure)
Number entered is assumed to be
Velocity (FPM)
3. Metric Velocity (MPS)
Number entered is assumed to be
Metric Velocity Pressure (kPA)
4. Metric Velocity Pressure
Number entered is assumed to be
(kPA)
Metric Velocity (MPS)
The first time you perform this function, the values are displayed in
the order identified above. Subsequent calculations begin with the
last displayed value.
Converting Velocity Pressure to FPM
After obtaining Velocity Pressures (VP) from taking a traverse, your
calculator easily converts to Feet per Minute (FPM).
For example, convert the following VPs to FPM:
0.049”
0.123”
0.027”
