Episode: Measuring Air Flow - Air Density and Direct Air Flow Measurement Part 2 w/ Jim Bergmann
Description: In this podcast episode, Jim Bergmann continues talking about standard air, air density, and mass vs. volume as well as some other methods of "directly" measuring airflow. It gets pretty deep. Airflow hoods and vane anemometers can give you direct airflow measurements. You use static pressure probes, not pitot tubes, to measure TESP. When measuring static pressure, you put the negative probe in the return and the positive probe in the supply. Then, you measure the TESP (away from wiring and airflow). However, air pressure fluctuates as that air moves in the duct. Velocity pressure...
