Air flow meter by Sauermann can display up to four parameters at once

The KIMO DBM 620 air flow meter by Sauermann

The Sauermann Group makes its family of test and measurement devices available to Canadian businesses through Chevrier Instruments Inc. Among these great products is the KIMO DBM 620 air flow meter. Recommended for efficient taking of air-volume readings from air vents, this is a multipurpose, electronic air-balancing device that uses long-range, low-energy Bluetooth 4.2 technology. The unit can display up to four parameters simultaneously.

Humidity, pressure, temperature, more

Supplied with a calibration certificate, the DBM 620 measures airflow, relative humidity, atmospheric pressure, temperature, differential pressure, and air velocity. It offers the Air Changes per Hour metric, the first of its kind to be integrated into a balometer, allowing the user to switch easily between five different hood configurations.

This air flow meter is lighter and smaller than previous Sauermann gadgets of its kind, and it also works as an autonomous micro-manometer with a Pitot tube attachment. With the SmartKap app, users get easy reading and export of measurement information, and the extendable tripod eliminates the requirement for ladders in most workplaces.

Other features of this air flow meter from Chevrier:

• measuring range from 35 to 4,250 cubic metres per hour (m³/h);
• hoods flow straightener, compatible with all air-vent types;
• patented folding frame and space-saving hoods storage;
• transport case for compact storage;
• hold function;
• Air Change Rate function;
• automatic airflow direction (extraction or air blast);
• automatic or point-by-point averaging; and
• removable measuring unit (micro-manometer function).

The DBM 620 is recommended for its accuracy. For airflow, the calculated parameter offers an accuracy of plus or minus three per cent of the measurement plus or minus ten m³/h and a resolution of one m³/h. Regarding air velocity, each calculated parameter has an accuracy of plus or minus three per cent of the measurement plus or minus 0.04 metres per second (m/s), a measuring range from 0.2 to ten m/s, and a resolution of 0.01 m/s up to three m/s and 0.1 m/s above. As for temperature (NTC), accuracy is plus or minus 0.02 degrees Celsius, measuring range runs from 0.2 to 70 Celsius, and resolution is 0.1 degrees.
