HVAC linear filter pressure trend calculator

Calculate linear pressure trend and threshold operating time with your own figures.

Your numbers

Use the units shown. Results update as you change valid inputs.

Use linear pressure trend and threshold operating time to compare changes to your inputs. The method and limits below explain the scope.

Calculation method

Calculation method

Linear pressure trend (Pa/hour)

Least-squares linear pressure trend; project threshold crossing, with no filter-life guarantee.

Threshold operating time (hours)

Least-squares linear pressure trend; project threshold crossing, with no filter-life guarantee.

Projected hours from last observation

Least-squares linear pressure trend; project threshold crossing, with no filter-life guarantee.

Symbols and units
a
Filter operating times (hours)
b
Measured pressure drops (Pa)
c
User-selected replacement threshold (Pa)

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • User-supplied measurements and assumptions; Least-squares linear pressure trend; project threshold crossing, with no filter-life guarantee. Supported limits: Finite numeric values bounded to 1e9 magnitude; lists and tables contain 1–100 records unless a stricter bound is stated. Inputs use the units shown. Lists explicitly paired by a method must have matching lengths; independent polynomial coefficient vectors may differ. Respect stated physical, interpolation, policy and computational domain limits.
