Every component within an air distribution system adds resistance to the air handlers ability to move the specified amount of air. The amount of total resistance specified (static pressure) in a fan specification is calculated for the required system airflow. The resistance will therefor be determined by the amount of air flow - if air flow is more than specified the resistance will also be more, and vise versa for less air flow.
