Static pressure

  "term": "Static pressure",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The pressure a fluid exerts in all directions when at rest, or, for a moving fluid, the pressure that acts perpendicular to the direction of flow, as sensed by a probe that does not disturb the stream. Adding the dynamic pressure, ½ρv², which represents the kinetic energy of the flow per unit volume, gives the total pressure, so a Pitot-static tube obtains flow speed from the difference between total and static pressure.",
