Heldenbrand, Manager of Standards SPECIAL NOTE This National Voluntary Consensus Standard was developed under the auspices of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditionin
8、g Engineers (ASHRAE). Consensus is defined as “substantial agreement reached by concerned interests according to the judgment of a duly appointed authority, after a concerted attempt at resolving objections. Consensus implies much more than the concept of a single majority but not necessarily unanim
9、ity.“ This definition is according to the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) of which ASHRAE is a member. ASHRAE obtains consensus through participation of its national and international members, associated societies, and public review. ASHRAE Standards are prepared by a Project Committee
10、appointed specifically for the purpose of writing the Standard. The Project Committee Chairman and Vice-chairman must be members of ASHRAE; while other committee members may or may not be ASHRAE members, all must be technically qualified in the subject area of the Standard. Every effort is made to b
11、alance the concerned interests on all Project Committees. The Manager of Standards of ASHRAE should be contacted for: a. interpretation of the contents of this Standard, b. participation in the next review of the Standard, c. offering constructive criticism for improving the Standard, d. permission

FOREWORD This standard provides recommended practices for airflow measurements as
18、we as measurement procedures for use in the preparation of other ASHRAE standards. Therefore, it meets the ASHRAE standard classification of method of measurement or test. The standard was initiated by the ASHRAE Standards Committee to provide ASHRAE members with several alternatives for laboratory
19、airflow measurements. The standard was developed by a diversified panel of five voting and four nonvoting members using the ANSUMCA Standard 210-85, ANSUASHRAE Standard 51-1985, Laboratory Methods of Testing Fans for Rating, as a reference document. I. PURPOSE 1.1 The purpose of this standard is to
20、set forth recom- mended practices for airflow measurements and to provide adequate and consistent measurement procedures for use in the preparation of other ASHRAE standards. shall and should: the word “shall” is to be understood as a requirement, the word LLshould” as a recommendation. transducer:
21、a device that changes one form of physical quantity to another. In the measurement field, transducers are generally used to sense a variety of measurands, such as line voltage, current, power, pressure, temperature, etc., and convert these to a common output signal for transmission to a controlling,
22、 indicating, or recording instrument. uncertainy, maximum: the maximum difference between the true value of the quantity measured and the observed value. uncertainy, random: an uncertainty that causes readings to take random values on either side of some mean value. Measurements may be precise or im
23、precise depending on how well an instrument can reproduce subsequent readings of an instruments unchanged input. uncertainty, systemaic: an uncertainty that persists and cannot be considered as due entirely to chance. Systematic errors can be corrected by calibration. 4. CLASSIFICATIONS 2. SCOPE 2.1
24、 The procedures described herein are intended for use in testing air-moving, air-handling, and air-distribution equipment and components, The particular method(s) used shall be determined by the operating tolerances, instrument accuracies, and instrument precision required to achieve the objectives
25、of the product test. 2.2 The recommendations herein include consideration of density effects on accurate measurement of flow rates. 2.3 The procedures in this standard are intended primarily for use in laboratory testing of heating, ventilating, air- conditioning, and refrigerating components and eq
26、uipment and do not necessarily apply to field testing of installed equipment and systems. 2.4 The procedures in this standard are intended for application only to flow ineasurements of air at pressures to the measuring equipment not exceeding 100 in. of water (25 kPa) gage. 2.5 Not included are proc
27、edures for testing fans, blowers, exhausters, compressors, and other air-moving devices whose principal function is to produce a stream of moving air, which fall within the scope of ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 51-1985, ANSI/MCA Standard 210-85. 3. DEFINITIONS diameter, equivalent: the diameter of a circle
28、having the same area as the rectangular cross section. diameter, hydraulic: four times the flow area divided by the perimeter of the solid boundary in contact with the fluid. 4.1 General The practices and procedures covered in this standard range from relatively simple applications of measuring the
29、flow rate of a single stream of air brought to the measuring device (which performs its function and then discharges the stream to the atmosphere) to fairly complex systems designed to measure two or more streams entering andlor leaving a product, take leakage and/or ventilation within the product i
30、nto account, and return the main and leakage streams to the product. 4.2 Products Air-conditioning, heating, ventilating, and refrigerating products for which airflow measurements are required may be classified by their relationship within a complete heating, ventilating, air-conditioning, or refrig
31、er- ating system. 4.2.1 Unitary Equipment This covers products in which the intended functions of heating, humidifying, cooling, dehumidifying, and means for air moving of one or more streams of air, such as conditioned or refrigerated air, are camed out in a factory-assembled package or packages de

These products may be supplemented by one or more duct systems plus fans, registers, grilles, filters, and other accessories as required to form the complete heating, ventilating, air-conditioning, or refrigerating system. Some examples are: a. unitary

46、alorimeter Systems These are de- scribed in 5.5. 5. SECTION OF AIRFLOW-MEASURING EQUIPMENT AND SYSTEMS 5.1 General The type of airflow-measuring equipment or system to be used depends upon the nature and complexity of the product being tested, including complexities of the air system(s) within the p
47、roduct. It may also involve consideration of energy requirements, both for operation of the product and of the measurement system; this could also involve means for energy exchanges for conservation and economy of operation of the laboratory system. In addition, ease, convenience, and automation of
48、the testing system are important considerations. However, this standard will deal primarily with the basic arrangements, principles of operation, required data, and calculations of results. Since it is established practice to express airflow measurements in terms of standard air, each type of system
49、 requires a barometer for measuring ambient air pressure. 5.2 Test Ducts A test duct (Figures 1, 2, and 3) is used most commonly for testing products that receive or dis- charge an airstream having essentially uniform temperature and/or moisture content. It may be used to provide a pressure-measuring station or to simulate the condition(s) the product is expected to encounter in service or both. It may employ either a Pitot tube traverse arrangement (Figures 4 and 5) or a nozzle (Figure 6) on the inlet or *Test chamber is the generic name applied to these devices, but code tester ha
