Contractors or suppliers documentperformance of proposed equipment based on tests runand reported in accordance with this standard.A supplier of airflow controls wishing to publish thecapabilities of a product execu

The supplierchooses the operating conditions to test and report.The Standard Project Committee does not envisionapplication of this standard to field tests or acceptance testsin construction projects.This standard method of test (MOT) re

24、ports perfor-mance as a pass/fail rating with respect to a control accu-racy tolerance, rather than reporting a measured, numericalaccuracy. It is envisioned that the standard may be extendedin the future to report measured accuracy.This standard MOT pertains to some of the same equip-ment as Standa

25、rd 130-20081and measures some of the samequantities. In particular, Standard 130-2008 includes teststhat measure accuracy of an airflow sensor installed in a ter-minal. This MOT measures the accuracy of the airflow con-trol system, which encompasses the terminal and sensor, butalso includes sensing

26、functions and control actions integralto an airflow controller.This standard MOT describes procedures that apply tosingle-duct air terminals without fans. Future versions mayinclude procedures that apply to other air terminals.1. PURPOSEThis standard specifies instrumentation, facilities, testinstal
