Bearing capacity is a most significant parameter to evaluate the quality of aerostatic restrictor system. A gas-impedance model was established using the theory of gas dynamics to determine the bearing capacity of three aerostatic restrictor systems which were multi-micro channel, dual U-shaped and dual circle-shaped aerostatic restrictor system respectively. Experiments were run using gas-impedance method and finite difference method to prove the validity of gas-impedance method. Experimental results indicated the gas-impedance model method was effective in establishing the bearing capacity of aerostatic restrictor system.
