Airflow in a duct creates a pressure difference between the front and rear probes.
The corresponding airflow rate can be defined by measuring the pressure difference sensed by the two crossing sets of averaging probes.
In order to ensure the accuracy of the airflow measurement the safety distances between the measurement unit and flow disturbances (e.g. bends, T-branches) have to be respected. The necessary safety distances before and after different disturbances are presented in figures below.
The figure below describes also the recommended axial orientation of measurement probes related to bends and T-branches.
Connect the measurement tubes to the manometer and read the pressure difference. The airflow rate is calculated using the formula below or by reading the airflow rate directly from the diagram:
