21、to pur-pose, scope, and definitions. Updates to the traceability for cal-ibration of test instruments were brought in alignment withother related standards, and test instruments in Section 4 wereupdated to current models. References to an alternative methodof airflow in Normative Annex B were added
22、to Section 5. Newmaterial was added to Section 9 to update and clarify methodsfor testing exposed and concealed fan coils for total sound, aswell as methods to measure sound paths for discharge andradiated sound. An alternate method of airflow measurementwas added to Normative Annex B. Two new annex
23、es, Informa-tive Annex C, “Alternate Mixing-Tube Reference Dimensions,”and Informative Annex D, “Examples of Various Types ofExposed and Concealed Fan Coils” were included. Figureswere updated to improve resolution and clarity, and new fig-ures were added. In addition, minor editorial changes werema
24、de, along with updates to normative references. This revision of ASHRAE Standard 79 falls under the Stan-dard Committee classification of “standard method of mea-surement.” This standard was prepared under the auspices ofASHRAE. It may be used, in whole or in part, by association orgovernment agency
25、 with due credit to ASHRAE. Adherence isstrictly on a voluntary basis and merely in the interests ofobtaining uniform standards throughout the industry.1. PURPOSE AND SCOPE1.1 Purpose.

Temperaturemeasuring instruments shall meet the requirements ofASHRAE Standard 41.11.4.1.1 Accuracy and precision of the temperature measuringinstruments shall be within the limits shown in Table 3.4.1.2 Scale Divis
45、ion. In no case shall the smallest scale divi-sion of the temperature measuring instrument exceed twice thespecified precision.4.1.3 Air Temperature4.1.3.1 Dry Bulb and Wet Bulb. Dry-bulb and wet-bulbtemperatures shall be read only under conditions that ensure anair velocity between 700 fpm (3.5 m/s
46、) and 1000 fpm (5 m/s)over the wet bulb and only after sufficient time has beenallowed for equilibrium to be attained. The wick on the wet-bulb thermometer shall be clean, fit the thermometer tightly,and be moistened by distilled water. Wet-bulb thermometersshall always be downstream of dry-bulb the
47、rmometers.4.1.3.2 Water Temperature. Water temperature withinpipes may be measured by inserting the temperature measur-ing instrument directly into the water parallel to and againstthe flow. An acceptable alternate method of water temperaturemeasurement is with a liquid-filled well inserted into the
48、 pipe. 4.1.3.3 Interchangeability of Instruments. Whereverpossible, temperature measuring instruments used to measurethe change in temperature of water or air shall be arranged sothat they can readily be interchanged between inlet and outletpositions after every reading, so as to improve accuracy.4.
