Multi-Function Ventilation Meters for Airflow Testing

Multi-function ventilation meters help consolidate fieldwork by bringing several measurements into a single, easy-to-carry instrument. TAB and HVAC service teams use them to verify diffuser performance, set outdoor air fractions, measure hood face velocity, and assess comfort with temperature and humidity checks. When equipped with the right probe, a single meter can cover low-velocity supply grilles, higher-flow exhausts, and mixed-flow diffusers — saving time and simplifying documentation.

Interchangeable probes make these meters flexible. Hot-wire or thermal anemometer probes offer high sensitivity at low to medium velocities, while rotating vane probes provide robust readings at higher flows and on larger grilles. Some platforms also support CO2 and CO spot checks, giving a quick read on IAQ during diagnostics or commissioning.

Features that drive productivity:

Interchangeable velocity probes with automatic recognition and calibration data
Averaging, timed tests, and diversity factors for diffuser balancing
On-screen guidance for traverse points and hood calculations (when applicable)
Temperature and humidity measurements to correlate comfort and system operation
Wireless connectivity to label spaces, attach photos, and export datasets
Ruggedized designs to handle daily use on ladders and in mechanical spaces

Typical applications:

Balancing supply and return diffusers in residential and commercial buildings
Verifying outdoor air intake and economizer settings
Measuring hood face velocity in labs and shops
Spot-checking IAQ parameters during service calls
Documenting before/after performance for retrofits

Selection tips:

Choose probes that match your velocity range and diffuser sizes
Confirm accuracy specifications for low-flow applications
Look for ergonomic probe lengths for ceiling diffusers and hard-to-reach grilles
Evaluate data workflow — batch labeling, averaging, and PDF/CSV export can save hours

Best practices:

Use consistent measurement grids across diffusers for comparable results
Stabilize readings with appropriate damping and averaging time
Record environmental conditions to contextualize airflow readings
Maintain calibration intervals to support traceable results

By combining multiple measurements into one platform, multi-function ventilation meters help teams produce faster, clearer reports and support more informed adjustments to ventilation and comfort settings.
