This tool is designed to determine the force exerted by air within a duct system, specifically when the air is not in motion. This calculation is crucial for understanding the resistance air encounters as it moves through ventilation systems. As an example, knowing the air’s exertion on a duct wall allows for precise system balancing.
Accurate determination of air pressure within a duct offers significant advantages. It facilitates the optimization of system efficiency, minimizing energy waste and improving overall performance. Historically, estimations relied on complex manual calculations; modern methods provide greater accuracy and speed, streamlining system design and troubleshooting.
