What You’ll Learn:

• Understanding Total External Static Pressure and industry benchmarks (0.5″ WC standard)
• Proper testing procedures using digital manometers and the MeasureQuick app
• How to test with and without filters to assess system restrictions
• Reading return vs. supply pressure measurements
• Identifying system problems through pressure readings
• Why balanced airflow is crucial for system efficiency
• Common ductwork issues that affect static pressure

Key Takeaways:

• Industry standard TESP is 0.5 inches of water column
• Always zero out your instruments before testing
• Test both return side (negative pressure) and supply side (positive pressure)
• High static pressure indicates system breathing problems
• Data doesn’t lie – proper measurements reveal true system performance

Perfect for HVAC technicians, installers, and anyone looking to improve their diagnostic skills. Remember: you can’t manage what you don’t measure!
