AIR FLOW BALANCING (CONT'D)

AIRFLOW STATION (GRID) METHOD

B

1For this flow measuring station, cut the duct and place the flow measuring station between each station. Make sure that the flow measuring station’s air direction arrow points in the direction of the airflow. Secure the flow measuring station with duct tape.

2Before taking the reading, make sure that the magnehelic gauge is level and at 0. Refer to the flow measuring station’s chart to determine your unit’s airflow velocity.

3Adjust the “Supply Air Out” damper until you reach the desired velocity. Follow the previous steps to adjust the “Exhaust Air Out” damper, if needed.
