A.p.proach 3 In Approach 3, the most onerous values of any factor are taken from any direction within the chosen quadrant. Quadrants may be chosen judiciously to produce the lowest peak velocity pressure. The lowest peak velocity pressure ,found by Approach 3 will never he smaller than that from Approach 2, but is generally less than the peak velocity pressure from Approach I . Two quadrants are demonstrated in detail, and then the results presented in summary form. Assume that the quadrants are 0" to 90" inclusive, 90" to 180" inclusive, etc, and taking the quadrant from 90" to 180" as an example.

In both these examples of the application of Approach 3, the resulting maximum peak velocity pressure is less than that from Approach 1, but more than that from Approach 2.
