I'm just kinda wondering what pressure diff. you guys are seeing when pitot testing with manometers. And also, does anyone know a formula for converting these numbers into fps. I am using my verticle (still havent built a new one yet) and over the short turn and seeing from about 9-15" on the last one I checked. this was just before it stalled so I'm thinking the 15" has got to be in the 400+fps range.
Anyone else seeing simular numbers?

I think there is a spread sheet here,
that converts Pitot readings to velocity.

Generally,you don't want to see more than
the depression you are flowing at.

eg: if you are testing at 12" of water,
you don't want to see 15" on the Pitot manometer.
