MEASUR-Tools-Suite v1.0.11
The MEASUR Tools Suite is a collection of industrial efficiency calculations written in C++ and with bindings for compilation to WebAssembly.

The pressure adjustment converts actual volumetric flow at operating pressure (gauge) to standard atmospheric pressure. Gas volume is proportional to the square root of absolute pressure.
\begin{equation}\label{eq:flow-calculations-abs-gas-pressure} P_{gas,abs} = P_{gas,gauge} + P_{atm}\end{equation}
\begin{equation}\label{eq:flow-calculations-pressure-adj} f_P = \sqrt{\frac{P_{gas,abs}}{P_{atm}}}\end{equation}
| \(f_P\) | Pressure adjustment factor \([\unit{ \unitless}]\) |
| \(P_{gas,abs}\) | Absolute gas pressure \([\unit{ psia}]\) |
| \(P_{gas,gauge}\) | Gauge gas pressure \([\unit{ psig}]\) |
| \(P_{atm}\) | Atmospheric pressure (14.7) - see physics::us::kAtmosphericPressurePsi \([\unit{ psia}]\) |
