Velocity pressure
The BSRIA guide to 'Commissioning Air Systems' (BG 49/2024), written by by Keith Barker and published by BSRIA in March 2024, explains how to commission ducted air distribution systems in buildings. It was originally published in 2013, then 2015 with the latest update in 2024.
It defines velocity pressure for the purposes of the guide as: ‘Pressure necessary to move air through an air distribution system at a certain velocity.'
Other types can be found on our page entitled pressure.
