What characteristic is NOT typical of an axial flow fan?

An axial flow fan is designed to move air efficiently along the axis of the fan. This type of fan primarily relies on the design of its blades to impart velocity to the air, enabling it to move relatively high volumes of air. While this setup allows for significant airflow and is efficient in low-pressure environments, it does not confer a high static pressure capability.

The characteristic that is not typical of an axial flow fan is its ability to generate substantial static pressure. Axial fans are generally optimized for high airflow at low pressures, making them suitable for applications where airflow needs to be maximized with minimal resistance. In contrast, fans designed for higher static pressures, such as centrifugal fans, can handle greater resistance and provide the necessary pressure for tasks requiring increased airflow against significant back pressure.

Consequently, while axial flow fans excel in moving air volume efficiently and are indeed effective in low-pressure applications, they do not typically possess high static pressure capabilities, making option B the correct response.
