Environmental correction for peak fuel flow measureme

For automatic calculation, enter numbers in the blue or the red boxes below.
You need to know:

Metric
Temperature

[deg C]

Barometric Pressure

[mbar]

Altitude

[m]

Peak fuel-flow reading

[L/h]

Imperial

0

Corrected reading

Temperature

[deg F]

Barometric Pressure

[inch Hg]

Altitude

[ft]

141

Peak fuel-flow reading

144.3

Corrected reading

As an alternative, to calculate manually use the tables below.

Then find

Factor A

and

Factor B

from the tables below.

The corrected peak fuel flow value is = the peak "L/H" value you got from the car * Factor A * Factor B
