EPR : Engine Pressure Ratio

Differs depending where the probes are positioned. P&W use different locations to RR, therefore for the same thrust amount the EPR's will differ significantly.

It's basically the Exhaust (Hot stream) pressure divided by the inlet pressure.

RR use IEPR (I = Integrated) as they use Exhaust (Hot stream) + Fan Exit (Cold Stream) divided by Exhaust pressure.

Also IIRC RR has stopped using IEPR on the Trents the last engine was the RB211-524G/H on the 744/767.
