Multi Function Ventilation Meters

Commissioning and maintaining ventilation systems across life sciences campuses calls for accurate measurements, consistent methods, and clear documentation. Multi-function ventilation meters bring core parameters — airflow, velocity, temperature, and humidity — into one platform, helping teams move efficiently from air handler to terminal device to point-of-use equipment without swapping tools or compromising accuracy.

TSI multi-function meters support duct traverses, diffuser measurements, and process checks across labs, cleanrooms, pharmacies, and vivariums. Interchangeable probes cover wide velocity ranges and environmental conditions, while guided workflows help standardize traverses and averaging methods. By pairing airflow and velocity data with temperature and humidity, technicians can connect mechanical performance to comfort, process stability, and contamination control strategies aligned to ISO 14644 and GMP expectations.

Where they add the most value:

• Commissioning: Validate airflow rates, balance VAV terminals, and confirm supply and exhaust setpoints across critical zones.
• Qualification: Capture baseline conditions with time-stamped measurements and build data packages to support inspections.
• Maintenance: Diagnose drift in airflow, temperature, or humidity and verify corrective actions quickly.
• Optimization: Link ventilation metrics to energy strategies without compromising environmental goals.

Practical features often include:

• High-accuracy velocity measurement for low and high flow regimes
• Integrated calculations for duct area, flow averaging, and thermal comfort indices
• Environmental sensing for temperature and relative humidity to contextualize airflow data
• Data logging and exports that fit commissioning and periodic verification workflows

Recommended workflow:

1. Define acceptance criteria and test points per room type and system.
2. Use guided traverses to measure airflow at ducts; verify VAV or terminal performance.
3. Measure temperature and humidity near process areas to connect air delivery with environmental results.
4. Compare findings to design and SOPs; adjust controls or balancing valves as needed.
5. Archive measurements for trend analysis and future audits.

From fume hood supply checks to cleanroom diffuser balancing, multi-function meters help reduce retests and streamline reporting. The result is a practical path to reliable ventilation performance and clear, defensible records that support quality systems across life sciences operations.
