Differential Pressure Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Differential Pressure is:

\[ dP = AP1 - AP2 \]

Where:

\( dP \) is the Differential Pressure (psi).
\( AP1 \) is the applied pressure 1 (psi).
\( AP2 \) is the applied pressure 2 (psi).

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.
