Chapter 1: Introduction 3

Micromanometer

The micromanometer is a multifunction instrument useful in obtaining air velocity, air flow, absolute and

differential pressure, temperature, and humidity measurements when used with the tools listed below. The

lightweight micromanometer incorporates auto-zeroing for high-accuracy, low-end pressure

measurements.

Standard Tools

This section gives a brief description of standard tools for the micromanometer.

Pitot Tube

The pitot tube is primarily used to obtain air velocity, air volume, and velocity pressure measurements

within ductwork.

Static Pressure Probe

The static pressure probe is primarily used to obtain static pressure measurements within ductwork.

Optional Tools

This section gives a brief description of optional tools for the micromanometer.

Capture Hoods

Capture hoods are primarily used to obtain volumetric air flow measurements through diffusers, registers

and grilles. Capture hoods are available in a kit with one 2 ft ×2 ft (610 mm ×610 mm) fabric hood,

frame, and base assembly. Alternate hood sizes are available and descriptions and part numbers can be

found in Table 2 of Chapter 2 in this manual.

Velocity Matrix

The velocity matrix is primarily used to obtain area-averaged multi-point air velocity measurements

useful in laboratory hood face velocity testing, filter face velocity testing, and other applications.

Air Flow Probe

The air flow probe is primarily used to obtain single point air velocity or air volume measurements in

ductwork.

Temperature Probe

The temperature probe is used to obtain temperature measurements over the range of -40 to 250°F

(-40 to 121°C).

Temperature/Humidity Probe

The temperature/humidity probe is used to obtain temperature measurements over the range of 14 to

140°F (-10 to 60°C), humidity measurements over the range of 0 to 95% RH, along with calculated wet

bulb temperature of 40 to 140°F (4 to 60°C) and dewpoint temperature of 5 to 120°F (-15 to 49°C).
