ACT
is the local atmospheric pressure, as measured by the micromanometer, for example,
in units of (in. Hg)
T
ACT
is the local temperature of the air flow being measured, in units of (°F)
V
ACT
is Actual Air Velocity, in units of (AFPM)
V
STD
is Standard Air Velocity, in units of (SFPM)
Similarly, to convert from Standard to Actual Air Velocity, use the following equation:

Note: The Model 8170 performs these calculations automatically. You can choose to view velocity or
flow measurements in either “Actual” or “Standard” units of measure.
