Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about flow measurement
Capture hood vs duct probe vs ultrasonic flow meter: which should I rent?
Rent a capture hood (balometer) when you need total airflow from a diffuser or grille. Rent a duct probe (Pitot or thermal) when you need a traverse reading inside a duct. Rent an ultrasonic flow meter when you need liquid flow in a pipe without cutting into the line.
What should I confirm before renting flow equipment?
Confirm the flow range you need to measure, the type of flow (air velocity, duct flow, liquid, or gas), the access available (duct size, pipe size, open area), and what accuracy or standard your measurement needs to meet. Also confirm whether you need datalogging.
When does a low-flow hood or balometer make more sense than a traverse method?
It makes more sense when the job is room-by-room diffuser work and the goal is speed and repeatability, not a formal duct traverse. That is why many balancing and comfort-complaint jobs start with a hood first.
How do I document airflow and flow readings so they're defensible?
Record the exact locations, instrument and probe, setup details (duct size, traverse pattern, insertion depth, orientation), and operating conditions. A simple sketch and repeatable method usually matter more than taking extra readings without context.
What's the first decision in flow measurement: air flow or liquid flow?
Start by separating HVAC air-side work from pipe flow work. Air flow jobs usually point you toward balometers, thermal anemometers, or pitot and manometer setups. Liquid flow jobs usually point you toward a clamp-on ultrasonic meter like the PT900.
When is a clamp-on ultrasonic liquid flow meter the right rental choice?
It is the right choice when the customer needs pipe flow verification without cutting the line, especially for temporary troubleshooting, system checks, or comparing one part of a hydronic or process system to another.
