Air Capture Hoods

Streamlining Air Volume Measurement with Air Capture Hoods

In the fields of Testing, Adjusting, and Balancing (TAB) and HVAC commissioning, efficiency is paramount. The ability to perform accurate measurements quickly directly impacts project timelines and profitability. TSI's air capture hoods are specifically designed to meet this need. Engineered for one-person operation, our hoods are lightweight, easy to maneuver, and simple to set up, significantly reducing the time and labor required to measure volumetric flow from diffusers, grilles, and registers.

The innovative design of models like the EBT731 Balometer® Capture Hood focuses on user experience and measurement integrity. Features such as detachable micromanometers provide flexibility, allowing the instrument to be used for other pressure and air velocity measurements. Furthermore, the inclusion of multiple hood sizes means you can tackle a wide range of vent dimensions with a single instrument, eliminating the need to carry multiple devices to a job site. This adaptability makes our air capture hoods a versatile and cost-effective tool for any HVAC professional.

Accuracy is at the core of TSI's design philosophy. Our air capture hoods can incorporate back pressure compensation, which helps to correct for the influence of the hood on the airflow being measured. This results in more reliable readings that you can confidently use to balance a building's ventilation system. Creating a healthy, energy-efficient, and comfortable indoor environment starts with good data, and our instruments are built to provide just that. With features designed to boost job efficiency and profitability, TSI air capture hoods are an essential addition to your toolkit.
