CONVERSION CHART

VELOCITY PRESSURE in inches of water to VELOCITY in feet per minute

Calculating Air Velocity. Fechheimer Pitot airflow stations and traverse probes measure in the same manner and magnitude as the Pitot tube,
via separate signals of airstream total pressure and static pressure, in inches water column (IN w.c.). To obtain velocity pressure (the force
generated by the velocity of the air moving in a duct), the static pressure must be subtracted from the total pressure:
Velocity Pressure (IN w.c.) = Total Pressure (IN w.c.) Static Pressure (IN w.c.)
Air velocity, expressed in feet per minute, is a function of velocity pressure, converted by means of the following formula:
Air Velocity (FPM) = 1096.5 x

Velocity Pressure (IN w.c.)

Density of (Gas)

In commercial applications where air is the gas, its density is at 70 Fahrenheit and 29.92 inches of mercury (barometric pressure), and the
airflow is not compressed (under 10 IN w.c.), the formula reduces to:
Air Velocity (FPM) = 4005 x

Calculating Air Volume. The station air volume, expressed cubic feet per minute (CFM), is the product of the air velocity through the airflow
station and the station area in square feet (Ft2).
Station Air Volume (CFM) = Air Velocity (FPM) x Station Area (Ft 2)

FAN-E AIRFLOW MEASURING STATION.

Multi-point, self-averaging, Pitot traverse station with integral air straightenerequalizer honeycomb cell. Capable of continuously measuring fan discharges
or ducted airflow with an accuracy of two percent or better.
AMCA CERTIFIED in accordance with Standard 610.

VOLU-PROBE/1,2,3,4 AIRFLOW TRAVERSE PROBES.

Multi-point, self-averaging, Pitot Fechheimer airflow traverse probes with
integral airflow direction correcting design. Four mounting configurations
to fit every application.
AMCA CERTIFIED in accordance with Standard 610.

VOLU-PROBE/FI FAN INLET AIRFLOW PROBES.

Multi-point, self-averaging, Pitot Fechheimer airflow probes with integral airflow
direction correcting design. For mounting directly in the inlet cones or bellmouth
of centrifugal or vane-axial fans to measure fan capacities within three percent of
actual flow.

VOLU-PROBE/VS AIRFLOW PROBE TRAVERSE STATIONS.

Multi-point, self-averaging, Pitot Fechheimer airflow probes factory mounted
in a flanged sheet metal casing, with interconnecting tubing. Capable of
measuring ducted airflow within two percent accuracy without using an air
straightener or incurring significant resistance to airflow.
AMCA CERTIFIED in accordance with Standard 610.

S.A.P./1,2,3 and S.O.A.P. STATIC PRESSURE SENSORS.

Available in three separate mounting configurations, the S.A.P. family of static
pressure sensors generate a steady, non-pulsating output of room, space or
plenum pressure.
The S.O.A.P. was designed to accurately sense outside atmospheric air pressure.

STAT-PROBE STATIC PRESSURE TRAVERSE PROBE.

Multi-point, self-averaging, Fechheimer static pressure traverse probe for
accurate sensing of duct or system static pressure in the presence of turbulent
or rotational airflows.
