Pressure Differential

Pressure differential refers to the difference in pressure between two points. It drives the flow of fluids or gases from a higher-pressure area to a lower-pressure area. For example, if one end of a pipe has more pressure than the other, the fluid will naturally move toward the lower-pressure side until equilibrium is reached. This concept is fundamental in various systems like ventilation, hydraulics, and weather patterns, where controlling or measuring pressure differences helps manage flow, ensure safety, or predict movement of air or liquids.
