If you have the fan speed/RPM, and you have the fan curve at that fan speed (this is fan specific, from the manufacturer) - the answer is yes, you can easily find the static pressure on your chart.
The fan curve is basically a graph of CFM vs static pressure (with a bunch of other info).
But this only gives you the total static pressure that the fan can overcome - it’s not going to tell you how much static pressure your duct system imposes, that would vary widely depending on how big/small your ducts are, how much ductwork you have, what devices are in the ductwork, etc.
If you are looking for specific pressure drops in your duct system, that has little to do with the fan itself.
