13.9 Air Flow
A. Objective To introduce the trainee to the fundamentals of air flow and volume measurements. B. Assignment The trainer will present the basic principles of flow measurement and volume determinations. The trainer will describe to the trainee the use of flow and volume instrumentation and the application of correction factors. The equipment involved will include: - rotometers,
- regulators,
- orifice plates,
- volume standards,
- hot-wire anemometer,
- turbine anemometer, and
- pressure-drop anemometer.
In addition, maintenance of air-line filters and other ancillary equipment will be covered. The trainee will be expected to become familiar with the use of airflow equipment through assigned exercises.
