Tech/Engineering - Petroleum Eng/Sci / Liquefied Petroleum test
English term or phrase: small and consistent difference
Unfortunately, some plants take a “good enough” approach to filter installation and may not be aware of contaminants that are currently being missed in their air lines.
An engineer may be concerned that adding another filter layer can reduce air pressure, but even if that’s the case, it’s a small and consistent difference.

Explanation:

Não gosto muito de "consistente", mas é usado. Prefiro "uniforme", regular, estável, etc.
