24、Air pressure can affect products in various ways, the most important of which are as follows: 4.2 Air pressure lower than normal Low air pressure occurring at altitudes above sea-level can affect products as follows: leakage of gases or fluids from gasket-sealed containers; rupture of pressurized co

28、vel is 101,325 kPa. Depending on meteo-rological conditions, air pressure at sea level may vary. Similar variation occurs at altitudes above and below sea-level. In areas above sea-level, air pressure is lower than at sea level; in areas below sea level (natural depressions and mines) it is higher t

29、han at sea-level. Table 1 gives standard values of air pressure, in round figures, for different altitudes.

31、, see 1. BS EN 60721-2-3:2014 EN 60721-2-3:201460721-2-3 IEC:2013 7 According to 1, the formula for calculating the relation between altitude and air pressure is: p = p0 (1 (L h) / T0) g / (R L) (for altitude below 11 000 m); and p = p1 e (g (hh1) / (R T1)(for altitude between 11 000 m and 20 000 m)

32、; where p is the air pressure (kPa); p0= 101,325 kPa (standard pressure at sea level); p1= 22,632 kPa (standard pressure at 11 000 m); h is the altitude above sea level (m) (20 000 m); h1= 11 000 m (altitude at 11 000 m); L = 0,006 5 K/m (temperature lapse rate); T0= 288,15 K (standard temperature a

33、t sea level); T1= 216,65 K (standard temperature at 11 000 m); g = 9,806 65 m/s2(earth-surface gravitational acceleration); R = 287,053 J/(kg.K) (universal gas constant).
