DID YOU KNOW?

About Wind Velocity and Pressures

There are conversion algebraic "approximations" only. You can be off by quite a margin depending on the velocity that is considered.

Exact solutions from fastest mile to 3 second gusts are an iterative process using the Durst Curve which is contained in the ASCE 7-02 page 296. The iteration closes fairly quickly (about 3 or 4 cycles).

Various winds to 3 second gusts have been converted to Fujita Scale, Saffir Simpson Scale, Australian Cyclonic Scale. Beaufort Scale, World Meteorological Organization velocities, and Fastest Mile winds to 3 Second Gusts.

It is important to get the velocities correct because the pressures vary as a ratio of the velocities squared. A little mistake in velocity can be a huge mistake in pressure. 

Example:

A Cat 3 hurricane is 1.5 times greater in velocity than a Cat 1.
But a Cat 3 pressure is 2.25 times greater than a Cat 1.
