Static 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 static pressure for the purposes of the guide as: ‘The amount of pressure exerted by a fluid that is not moving in relation to its surroundings.'
