Fan static pressure definition

Fan static pressure. (pfs), in Pa, means the difference between the static pressure at the fan outlet and the stagnation pressure at the fan inlet or, when the compressibility phenomenon is not a factor, the difference between the static pressure at the fan outlet and the total pressure at the fan inlet. It is the omnidirectional force per unit surface area exerted at the fan outlet and is typically assessed by measuring the stagnation pressure in a (cylindrical) hole of appropriate geometry and dimensions, in duct wall or appropriate measurement instrument perpendicular to the direction of the gas flow;
Fan static pressure. (psf) means the fan total pressure (pf) minus the fan dynamic pressure corrected by the Mach factor.
Fan static pressure. (psf) means the fan total pressure (pf) minus the fan dynamic pressure corrected by the Mach factor; ‘Mach factor’ means a correction factor applied to dynamic pressure at a point, defined as the stagnation pressure minus the pressure with respect to absolute zero pressure which is exerted at a point at rest relative to the gas around it and divided by the dynamic pressure; ‘Stagnation pressure’ means the pressure measured at a point in a flowing gas if it were brought to rest via an isentropic process;

  • Reid vapor pressure means the vapor pressure of crude oil or other volatile petroleum products at 100 degrees Fahrenheit as determined by the latest edition of ASTM D6377 (RVPE): Standard Test Method for Determination of Vapor Pressure of Crude Oil.

  • Low water pressure means water pressure below the regulatory reference level which is the minimum pressure when demand on the system is not abnormal.

  • True vapor pressure means the equilibrium partial pressure exerted by a petroleum liquid as determined in accordance with methods described in American Petroleum Institute (API) Bulletin 2517, Evaporation Loss from External Floating Roof Tanks, 1980. The API procedure may not be applicable to some high viscosity or high pour crudes. Available estimates of true vapor pressure may be used in special cases such as these.
