Volume Flow Measurement
Procedure:
If the measurements are performed according to the guidelines VDI/VDE 2640
the following notes must be observed:
- Depending on the type of ventilation system there can already be turbu-
lences at low flow velocities.
- Perform the measurements in a quiet section of the ventilation system
where turbulences are minimal.
- Select the measuring point so that maximum safety distances are available
before and after the measuring point. The safety distance N is the distance
from a turbulence point to the measuring point. Turbulences can develop,
for example, at fans, pipe bends, reductions, control flaps, rectifiers, heating
units and filters etc.
- The following formulae can be used to calculate the safety distances N for
selecting the measuring point. L represents the free straight leg of a ventilat-
ing channel that is free from obstructions.
- Select the safety distance N

uring point so that it is equal or larger than 2.
- If short, straight elements of a piping system are only available, a shorter
safety distance N can be chosen when a larger number of measuring points
is used for the averaging. However, N
