Velocity Pressure, VP = V x density in Pb = Barometric Pressure in in-Hgz

cubic foot
I
f the density is 0.075 lbs/ft3,
the equation for VP reduces to
= (V/4008.6)2
SYSTEM CURVE EQUATION
The following formula is used to find other points on the system line when SP1 and CFM1 are known. Most, but not all, systems
follow this relationship.
