Alnor ABT Balometer Capture Hoods

The Alnor ABT Balometer Capture Hood series is designed to help TAB professionals move rapidly through large buildings while maintaining measurement consistency. By combining interchangeable hood sizes with a stable, low-resistance base, ABT models deliver practical volumetric airflow measurement at a wide variety of terminals.

Why ABT Balometers

• Speed on Site: Quick setup and clear volumetric readings help you cover more terminals per day.
• Hood Versatility: Equip your kit with the most-used sizes — residential registers, lay-in diffusers, linear slots — to reduce field improvisation.
• Data Workflows: Optional Bluetooth connectivity and app support help you tag rooms, attach notes, and export formatted reports.

Where They Fit

• New Construction and Commissioning: Confirm design airflow at terminals to support handover.
• Retrofits and Rebalance: Verify performance after filter, fan, or control changes.
• Troubleshooting: Identify rooms with low flow or imbalanced zones that affect comfort and ventilation.

Practical Tips

• Seal the Interface: Ensure the hood seats cleanly against the ceiling or wall to minimize leakage paths.
• Stabilize Readings: Allow the display to stabilize, then record values — repeat if flow is unsteady.
• Orientation Consistency: Keep hood orientation consistent across similar terminals to support repeatability.
• Density Considerations: Apply density corrections only if required by your reporting standard.

Selection Notes

• Hood Inventory: Choose kits with hood sizes that match your market’s common diffuser dimensions.
• Accessories: Consider extension poles, soft cases, and protective covers for safe transport between sites.
• Calibration: Follow recommended calibration intervals and perform field checks to verify stability.

The ABT Balometer series helps you turn terminal airflow measurement into a fast, structured step in your TAB workflow, supporting reliable results and clear documentation.
