Ram Air Pressure Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Ram Air Pressure.
Pram = SP + DP
- Where Pram is the Ram Air Pressure (Pa)
- SP is the static pressure (Pa)
- DP is the dynamic pressure (Pa)
How to Calculate Ram Air Pressure?
The following two example problems outline how to calculate the Ram Air Pressure.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the static pressure (Pa). In this example, the static pressure (Pa) is given as 15.
- Next, determine the dynamic pressure (Pa). For this problem, the dynamic pressure (Pa) is given as 6.
- Finally, calculate the Ram Air Pressure using the equation above:
Pram = SP + DP
Inserting the values from above and solving the equation:
Pram = 15 + 6 = 21 (Pa)
Example Problem #2:
Using the same process as above, first define the variables required by the formula. In this case, these values are:
static pressure (Pa) = 32
dynamic pressure (Pa) = 10
Entering these values yields:
Pram = 32 + 10 = 42 (Pa)
