Check face velocity, verify fume hood operation, and support effective safety training. Do you want to check face velocity? With the °C Point anemometer, you can easily measure the face velocity of your laboratory hoods. It may be that weeks or months have passed since your Certifier was last in to evaluate fume hood performance. […]
Is it time to calibrate your airflow sensors and instrumentation? Calibration is about measurement accuracy. Degree Controls recommends a recalibration service be performed once every 12 months for airflow sensors and sensing arrays, as well as for °C Port data acquisition instruments with built-in barometric pressure sensing. Properly calibrated airflow instrumentation gives you confidence that […]
Do you need to test fan airflow? The °C SPAR is a fully configurable Sensor Pole Array system for linear air velocity, temperature, and humidity measurement. Manufacturers, product testing labs, and engineers involved in the development and design of test equipment use °C SPARs to measure fan performance. It is an efficient and effective tool […]
The UHS1000 Humidity Sensor The UHS1000 is a relative humidity (RH) sensor, measuring the water vapor content of air, and features the convenience of USB connectivity. UHS1000 is most often used with its companion sensors, the UAS1000 (Air Velocity), and UTS1000/RTD1000 (Air and Surface Temperature) sensors, to create multipoint and multifactor environmental testing. In addition, […]
Do you need an air velocity sensor to CFM test your ceiling fans? The UAS1000 OD (“omnidirectional”) air velocity and temperature sensor is purpose-built for CFM (cubic feet of airflow per minute) testing of ceiling fans. Optimized for circulating air and applications where the predominant flow vector is well known, the UAS1000 OD is calibrated […]
The tools used for TAB (Testing, Adjusting, and Balancing) and commissioning work are as important as the professionals who perform the work1. Degree Controls offers some of the airflow instruments listed in the NEBB TAB Required Instrumentation list, used to record measurements for certified reports. In addition, Degree Controls offers airflow tools to help HVAC […]
Remote head sensors meet requirements when the sensing area is too small for typical probe-style sensors. Degree Controls F-Series Remote Head Sensors are air velocity and temperature sensors where the sensing element is separate from sensor electronics. Remote head sensors are used in instances where the sensing area is too small for a typical probe-style […]
Is it Time for an Airflow Sensor Calibration? Degree Controls air velocity and temperature sensors are highly accurate, but still require proper calibration at regular intervals to assure precise measurements. Whether airflow sensors are used in critical manufacturing processes, HVAC systems, or research and development projects, periodic calibration ensures sensors are functioning properly and gives […]
Calibrating velocity instrumentation yields accurate measurements and makes good process control possible. It may be time to calibrate your airflow sensors and instruments. Recalibration ensures sensors and instruments are functioning as accurately as possible and within published specifications. In turn, accurate measurements allow for quality product and good process control. Degree Controls calibrates velocity instrumentation using a […]
Performance & Reliability with Sidewall Air Velocity Sensing Lab managers often choose to use sidewall sensors to maintain the face velocity of fume hoods and biosafety cabinets, instead of duct-mounted probe-style sensors, in applications where the exhaust flow is dirty or extremely hot. The long term exposure of probe-style sensors to depositing particulates or corrosive chemicals may compromise […]
