Formula
The Wind Pressure Calculator uses the formula:
Wind pressure = 0.613 × Wind speed ^ 2
Worked example
For example, with wind speed of 20 m/s, the wind pressure is 245.20.
| Wind speed | 20 m/s |
|---|
| Wind pressure | 245.20 |

Frequently asked questions
Use P = 0.613 × v², with speed in m/s. A 20 m/s wind exerts about 245 pascals of pressure.
Pressure rises with the square of speed, so doubling the wind quadruples the pressure. Strong gusts load structures heavily.
It is half the density of air (about 1.225 kg/m³), from the dynamic pressure formula ½ρv².
No. Real loads also depend on shape, exposure and gust factors. Engineering codes apply extra coefficients for design.
