How to use this calculator
- Enter the wind speed (m/s) and the exposed area (m²).
- Read the pressure and force.
How it works
Dynamic pressure q ≈ 0.6 × wind speed²; force = q × area.
Worked example
30 m/s on 10 m². ≈ 540 Pa, 5400 N.
Common mistakes
- Treating this as a code result — real design adds shape, height and gust factors.
- Using km/h instead of m/s.
Frequently asked questions
Is this suitable for design?
No — it's a simplified estimate. Real wind design follows standards like AS 1170.2 and needs an engineer.
