22、by Technical Committee CEN/TC 156 “Ventilation for buildings”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by January 2016, and conflicting national stand
23、ards shall be withdrawn at the latest by January 2016. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Measurement methods which are b
24、oth correct and easy to use are developed and standardized to enable the commissioning and operational monitoring of air processing installations. Interior climate and air quality can often be improved considerably if the heating and ventilation system is managed in a way that ensures good functioni
25、ng in the long term. It is thus important that the system is designed and constructed to allow measurement and monitoring to be performed using established and approved methods. According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bou
26、nd to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portuga

EN 16211:2015 (E)BS EN 16211:20151 Scope This European Standard specifies simplified methods for the measurement of air flows on site. It provides a description of the air flow methods and how measurements are
28、 performed within the margins of stipulated method uncertainties. One measurement method is to take point velocity measurements across a cross-section of a duct to obtain the air flow. This simplified method is an alternative to the method described in ISO 3966 and EN 12599. This European Standard r
29、equests certain measurement conditions (length of straight duct and uniform velocity profile) to be met to achieve the stipulated measurement uncertainties for the simplified method. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and

38、the following formula: Dh= 4 A/O (1) For a rectangular duct this becomes: Dh= 2 L1 L2/ (L1+ L2) (2) where L1and L2are the sides of the duct. For a circular duct this becomes: Dh= D (3) 4.2 Flow disturbances Flow disturbances in ducts result in irregular velocity profiles. NOTE Flow seldom has a symm
39、etrical appearance except after long straight sections. The symmetry is often disturbed by varying resistance, for example after a bend, an area decrease or an area increase. The velocity profile also becomes disturbed by a damper and T-piece as well as before and after a fan. 4.3 Air density, The d
40、ensity of dry air varies with air pressure and temperature in accordance with the following approximating formula: 273 151 2931013 25 273 15,B=+(4) NOTE The relative humidity of the air (RH) has very little influence on the density of air at room temperature. The density of air at 20 C and 1 013,25
41、hPa which is saturated with water vapour is only approximately 1 % less than equivalent dry air. In a low-pressure system it is hardly necessary to consider the influence of static pressure on air density. In a high-pressure system, however, it can be necessary. The calculation is then performed as
42、follows: 0 01 273 151 2931013 25 273 15, ,sBp+=+(5) 4.4 Dynamic pressure, pdWhen measuring with a Pitot static tube a dynamic pressure is measured. The dynamic pressure can be used to calculate the air velocity by the use of the following formula: 22dvp= (6) EN 16211:2015 (E)BS EN 16211:20154.5 Corr
43、ections for air density, When presenting a measured air flow or velocity, it should be stated if it is the real air flow or the flow converted to standard conditions that is presented. The measurements should correspond to the designed air flow values of the system (real or standard air flow). The m
44、ethods in this standard present the measurements as real air flow. How to convert between standard and real velocity is described in 4.5. The same conversion is also valid for air flow. The real flow rate of air is as it is at the present temperature and barometric pressure of the air. Standard air
45、flow is used to present the air flow at standard condition of 1 013,25 hPa and 20 C. A fan transports approximately the same amount of air independent of air density. The amount of standard flow changes with air density. The instrument in use can measure real or standard air flow or it could require
46、 calibration conditions to display correctly. Compensate accordingly, especially when used for other conditions than calibration condition or standard conditions of 1 013,25 hPa and 20 C. The barometric pressure will decrease with altitude and also vary with weather. Convert real flow or velocity to
47、 standard flow or velocity by using the following formula: vs= vr r/ s(7) 5 Sources of errors 5.1 General There are many factors which affect the measurement results which shall be checked in connection with measuring. These factors are for example: a) calibration equipment, which shall be regularly
48、 compared with a traceable norm (calibration unit); b) calibrated measurement instruments; c) calibration intervals; d) examination of instruments long term stability; e) instruments temperature or density compensation; f) random instrument uncertainties; g) random reading uncertainties; h) variatio
49、ns in the measured quantity; i) measurement methods adapted to different installation cases; j) random uncertainties in measurement methods; k) measurement methods influence on the flow rate; l) variations in the exterior climate; m) air flow stability. EN 16211:2015 (E)BS EN 16211:2015Certain sources of error are difficult to manipulate, others can be reduced or even eliminated. Errors in given data input can be the result of measurements which have been affected by sys
