Calculate Differential Pressure



Formula

The formula to calculate the Differential Pressure is:

\[ dP = AP1 - AP2 \]

Where:

Example

Let's say the Applied Pressure 1 (AP1) is 100 psi and the Applied Pressure 2 (AP2) is 60 psi. The Differential Pressure would be calculated as follows:

\[ dP = 100 - 60 = 40 \text{ psi} \]

So, the Differential Pressure is 40 psi.

What is Differential Pressure?

Differential Pressure is the difference in pressure between two points in a system. It is commonly used in various engineering applications to measure the pressure drop across filters, valves, or other components. This measurement helps in assessing the performance and efficiency of the system.

Formula for Differential Pressure

Definition: Differential pressure is the difference in pressure between two points in a system.

Formula: \( \Delta P = P_1 - P_2 \)

Example: \( \Delta P = 100 - 80 \)

Differential Pressure to Flow Calculation

Definition: Calculating flow from differential pressure involves using the relationship between pressure drop and flow rate.

Formula: \( Q = C \sqrt{\Delta P} \)

Example: \( Q = 0.5 \sqrt{20} \)

Differential Pressure to Level Calculation

Definition: Differential pressure can be used to determine the level of a liquid in a tank.

Formula: \( h = \frac{\Delta P}{\rho g} \)

Example: \( h = \frac{500}{1000 \times 9.81} \)
