**Balometer Capture Hoods**: ABT Balometer Capture Hoods (ABT701, ABT711) are analog instruments for quick and simple air volume measurement, operating without batteries and offering clear visual trend indication. EBT Balometer Capture Hoods (EBT731) are multi-purpose electronic air balancing instruments featuring a detachable micromanometer, Bluetooth connectivity, and integration with the LogDat™ mobile app for data management. LoFlo Balometer Capture Hoods (6200, 6200D, 6200E, 6200F) are lightweight devices specialized in measuring very low volumetric flows (10-500 cfm), ideal for small diffusers and low-volume registers.**BalometerCaptureHoods**:ABTBalometerCaptureHoods(ABT701,ABT711)areanaloginstrumentsforquickandsimpleairvolumemeasurement,operatingwithoutbatteriesandofferingclearvisualtrendindication.EBTBalometerCaptureHoods(EBT731)aremulti-purposeelectronicairbalancinginstrumentsfeaturingadetachablemicromanometer,Bluetoothconnectivity,andintegrationwiththeLogDat™mobileappfordatamanagement.LoFloBalometerCaptureHoods(6200,6200D,6200E,6200F)arelightweightdevicesspecializedinmeasuringverylowvolumetricflows(10-500cfm),idealforsmalldiffusersandlow-volumeregisters.
**Micromanometers**: Models AXD610 and AXD620 are handheld digital micromanometers for accurate pressure measurement, capable of calculating velocity and volumetric flow rate when used with Pitot tubes. The EBT730 is an advanced, versatile micromanometer with an auto-zeroing pressure sensor and an intuitive menu structure.**Micromanometers**:ModelsAXD610andAXD620arehandhelddigitalmicromanometersforaccuratepressuremeasurement,capableofcalculatingvelocityandvolumetricflowratewhenusedwithPitottubes.TheEBT730isanadvanced,versatilemicromanometerwithanauto-zeroingpressuresensorandanintuitivemenustructure.
**Velometer Thermal Anemometers**: AVM440, AVM440-A, AVM410, and 9880D models measure air velocity, temperature, and relative humidity, while also calculating flow, wet bulb, and dew point temperatures. These instruments come with straight or articulated probe options and data logging capabilities.**VelometerThermalAnemometers**:AVM440,AVM440-A,AVM410,and9880Dmodelsmeasureairvelocity,temperature,andrelativehumidity,whilealsocalculatingflow,wetbulb,anddewpointtemperatures.Theseinstrumentscomewithstraightorarticulatedprobeoptionsanddataloggingcapabilities.
**Rotating Vane Anemometers**: RVA801 and RVA501 models measure air velocity, air volume, and temperature. Their 4-inch (100mm) head automatically averages velocity and volume readings, making them essential for measuring unevenly distributed or fluctuating flows.**RotatingVaneAnemometers**:RVA801andRVA501modelsmeasureairvelocity,airvolume,andtemperature.Their4-inch(100mm)headautomaticallyaveragesvelocityandvolumereadings,makingthemessentialformeasuringunevenlydistributedorfluctuatingflows.
