Calculating Static Pressure in Ductwork

Q. What I was hoping is that you could give me a basic explanation and formula for calculating the static pressure in ductwork for a spray booth. Thanks in advance.

A. The major suppliers of spray booths fans, such as Hartzell Fan, http://www.hartzellfan.com/new/index.asp have software programs that can do this. Alternatively you can find this information in the Industrial Air Conditioning Handbook which you can purchase from the following website: http://www.industrialpress.com/en/item.asp?BookID=18.

Best wishes,
