To calculate the pressure drop or static pressure for a system, you need to consider various factors

such as duct length, diameter, airflow rate, and any resistance introduced by components like filters or
fittings. Here's a general guideline for calculating pressure drop:

1. *Determine System Layout:*


- Identify the layout of your ventilation system, including ductwork, filters, elbows, and any other
components.

2. *Assign Pressure Loss Coefficients (K-values):*


- Assign pressure loss coefficients (K-values) to each component in the system. These values can be
obtained from literature, manufacturer's data, or engineering handbooks.

3. *Calculate Total Equivalent Length (Le):*


- For each component, calculate its equivalent length based on the assigned K-value and add it to the
total equivalent length of the system.
