Airflow Measuring Stations

Airflow measuring stations need straight duct, access, controls wiring, and correct orientation.

Stop if

• This airflow station is near a fitting. Do we have enough straight duct and access per manufacturer?

Watch out

• Do not flip, bury, or install immediately after turbulence without checking manufacturer straight-run rules.

Check

• Confirm airflow arrow, straight run, access, control wiring side, and manufacturer requirements.

Steps

• Identify whether this is normal ductwork or a controlled/special condition.
• Confirm airflow arrow, straight run, access, control wiring side, and manufacturer requirements.
• Get the current drawing/detail/spec/submittal before changing routing, material, access, or support.
• Bring photos, location, and what you checked to the foreman before closing or covering the work.
