Micromanometers

From duct traverses to component pressure drop studies, micromanometers are essential tools for R&D teams exploring air system performance. TSI micromanometers combine sensitive pressure sensors with clear interfaces and data capture, supporting experiments that demand repeatable, traceable results.

Key capabilities for research:

• Differential pressure measurement with fine resolution for static, total, and velocity pressure.
• Velocity calculation via pitot tubes to derive volumetric flow in ducts and plenums.
• Auto-zero and temperature compensation features (model dependent) for stable baselines.
• Data logging and export to streamline comparisons across tests and operating points.
• Portable housings designed for frequent setup and teardown across labs and field locations.

Use cases:

• Validating CFD predictions against measured pressure and velocity profiles.
• Characterizing fans, filters, and dampers across operating ranges.
• Investigating system control strategies and their impact on pressure regimes.
• Teaching labs that require reliable, easy-to-use instruments for student experiments.

A complete measurement ecosystem:

• Combine with capture hoods to cross-check volumetric results at terminals.
• Deploy thermal anemometers for low-velocity mapping in complex spaces.
• Utilize rotating vanes for quick face velocity surveys at grilles.

TSI supports comprehensive research workflows with calibration services, accessories, and application guidance. Whether you are building a new test rig or standardizing methods across multiple sites, we can help configure a micromanometer setup that supports your accuracy targets and reporting needs.
