Friction Loss - ANSWERthe decrease in air pressure due to the friction of the air
moving through a duct. p403
Static Pressure - ANSWERair pressure in a duct measured at right angles to the
direction of air flow. p403
Static pressure drop - ANSWERthe decrease in air pressure cause by friction
between the air moving through a duct and the internal surfaces of a duct. p403
Manometer - ANSWERa device that measures the pressures of vapors and gases.
p.403
Inclined Manometer - ANSWERa U-tube manometer designed so the bottom of the
"U" is a long inclined section of glass or plastic tubing. p403
U-tube Manometer - ANSWERa U-shaped section of glass or plastic tubing that is
partially filled with water or mercury. p403

Equal friction chart - ANSWERa chart that shows the relationship between the air
flow rate, static pressure drop, duct size, and air velocity. p404
System pressure drop - ANSWERthe total static pressure drop in a system. p405
Major duct section - ANSWERan independent part of a forced-air distribution system
through which all or part of the air supply from the blower flows. p405
Individual duct section - ANSWERpart of a distribution system between fittings in
which the air flow, direction, or velocity changes due to the configuration of the duct.
p405
Dynamic pressure drop - ANSWERthe pressure drop in a duct fitting or transition
caused by air turbulance as the air flows through the fitting or transition. p406

Velocity reduction method - ANSWERduct sizing that considers that the air velocity
is reduced at each branch takeoff. p410
Static regain method - ANSWERduct sizing that considers that each duct section is
sized so that the static pressure increase at each takeoff offsets the friction loss in
the preceding duct section. p410
Equal velocity method - ANSWERduct sizing that considers that each duct section
has the same air velocity. p411

Fittings and transitions are duct sections that change air flow direction or duct size -
ANSWERTRUE
Measuring static pressure without first measuring velocity pressure is difficult. -
ANSWERFALSE
The equal velocity method is more applicable to sizing exhaust systems or material
collection systems than it is for sizing distribution ducts for a heating or air
conditioning system. - ANSWERTRUE
