or by knowing the altitude
P(mm-Hg) = 760 - (2.50 per 100 ft. of altitude)*
The vapor pressure of water at ambient temperature can be obtained
from Table 1.
To determine the corrected flow (F
corrected
), substitute the ambient tem-
perature, pressure and vapor pressure of water in the following formula:

Where:
T = ambient temperature (in °K)
P = ambient pressure (in mm Hg)
P
water
= vapor pressure of water at ambient temp. (in mm Hg)
By way of example, suppose that the target’s position on the flow tube
is in question and it has been determined that the ambient temperature is 77
°F and the altitude where the instrument is being used is 5000 ft. above sea
level.

This approximation is within ±0.5% of the ICAO Standard Atmo-
sphere over the range 0-7500 ft. above sea level. Ref: “Fluid Mechanics for
Engineering Technology” by Irving Granet, Prentice Hall, pp 83–84.
