Q
= volume flow rate [m³/h]
∆p
= pressure value, read on the manometer [Pa]
ρ
= air density [kg·m-3] (1.2 at 20°C, 50% r.h. and 1013.2 hPa)

The K value to be inserted inside the device is:
As you can see, if the measurement is taken at standard air density, the square root assumes a unit value and K = C.

11.2 How to calculate volume flow rate from pressure probe
The following analytical equations show how to calculate the value of the volume flow rate from the value of the probe pressure
∆p
and vice versa. Values of
∆p
are given in Pa, while values of flow rate
Q
are expressed in m³/h.
Analytical expression to determine flow rate values from the pressure values, which can be read on the pressure-probe transducer:
where:
Q
= volume flow rate [m³/h]
∆p
= pressure value, read on the manometer [Pa]
ρ
= air density [kg·m-3] (1.2 at 20°C, 50% r.h. and 1013.2 hPa)
C
= dimensional constant, from the following table on this page.
Analytical expression to predict pressure probe manometer readings from the corresponding flow rate values:
