How to use Static Pressure to Measure and Set Air Flow

In this session from the 2nd annual symposium Eric Kaiser shares his knowledge on how to effectively measure static pressure and what you can do with it to solve system airflow problems, set air flow and select filters.

Read all the tech tips, take the quizzes

Eric Kaiser explains stuff really nicely. really great teacher. Bryan Orr, please have him more often here on youtube as well as on the podcast

Thanks for making this available Brian, Eric did a fantastic job!

Nicely done. Gets a clear point on the basics and defines some of the reasons why the air does and doesn't do what you think. I was impressed with the motor differences. We are always in a hurry so we look at the chart dial it in as good as it can be and call it a day and actually we should be looking a little harder at the charts. I wish he would explain when you should be concerned with the readings that show larger duct issues down the line and how to read it on the monometer. Thanks for sharing.

I'm liking this season of "Magnum PI, HVAC Detective"!

Interpolate is my new word of the day! 🆒 Great presentation Eric. Really coming to understand static pressure now.

Thanks for all involved in this video. Super helpful and extremely well done.

I really do appreciate all the videos you post they really come in handy being fresh out of school make a lot of things clear that i didn't understand stand from school and i get to really go over things over and over till i truly understand it thanks again

Awesome class about pressures in ducts. It's a great master class.

[jamesgutierrez]

goood intell on the static pressure measuring points in the duct system, kinda got lost on the airflow chart

[mitchellarmyguy]

If this guy doesn't make it in HVAC he can be an editor in the next spider man movie

[REFRITEKREFRIGERACION]

Thank you for all you guys do. Really need this video.

[joeschebler]

Thank You very much for sharing this, it was very educational

[No_prejudice_pls]

Thanks for the session. Its interesting. I work with railway HVAC systems. Nobody talks about Static pressure. Not even customer. So i will see now why filters are not getting dirty on one particular area.

[corruptedbrain]

thank you for this video ! This man is too smart !

[Sergio-ikjl]

It won't hurt to read a bit about fluid dynamics to get the concepts right That will lead to a better understanding of what happen with the air flow in a duct

Eric are you that guy that played on WKRP IN CINCINNATI or ANIMAL HOUSE? 😂😂😂. I'm kidding you. Heck of a resemblance.
GREAT VIDEO APPRECIATE THE TEACHING.

I would love to see where to test on a package rooftop unit

[mtbphil]

I set the constant torque motor air flow based on the static pressure and blower tables to hit 1000CFM. However, the CFM from the air filter tables was much different. How do you reconcile the difference? I assumed I should trust the blower tables more. Thanks

[trevmint]

Where do I find that air filter chart?

[RickSegui]

What about package units. What is the best procedure and test locations?
