1 Scope
This document gives guidelines to correct the measured air flow rate when measuring conditions are different from standard conditions.
It applies to a power-law formula giving the air flow rate as a function of a pressure difference with an air flow rate coefficient, C, varying with temperature and pressure.
This document applies to:
-
— passive elements of air distribution systems with a cross-section area that does not depend on pressure;
-
— volume flow rate (and not mass flow rate).
This document is applicable to (but not limited to):

— EN 1751, Ventilation for buildings — Air terminal devices — Aerodynamic testing of damper and valves;
— EN 12237, Ventilation for buildings — Ductwork — Strength and leakage of circular sheet metal ducts;
