Digital Stack Velocity Meter

Measuring stack velocity made easy.

A simple-to-use instrument which enables measurement of velocity in stacks and ducts in industrial plants by implementing methods recommended by US EPA and Indian BIS.

Available Model : PEM - SVM1

PEM–SVM1 is an electronic instrument enables measurement of three stack gas parameters viz. differential pressure created by it across a Pitot tube inserted in its path, its gauge pressure and its temperature. It programmatically computes the velocity at the point of location from the measured parameters and from the entered parameters of molecular weight / gas composition and Pitot calibration constant.

When measurements at multiple traverse points are taken, it automatically computes the average velocity and volumetric discharge of gas. It also implements user programmed strategy averaging for fluctuating velocities and computes number of traverse points and their distances from the user entered values of dimensions of stack / duct.

Applications:

Used in conjunction with manual stack monitoring kits for ease of process and direct display.
Can be used in duct measurements for volumetric discharge for measuring gas consumption.
Velocity Distribution Studies by duct designers and manufacturers.
Optimizing HVAC system performance.

Physical Design Highlights

It comprises a control module and the sensors for measuring Pitot differential pressure, stack gas gauge pressure and stack gas temperature. Pressure measurements are carried out solid state transducers. Temperature is measured by a K type thermocouple.

The control module houses the solid state transducers and all the electronics required for interfacing with these transducers and the thermocouple. The elegant cabinet of the control module is made of ABS plastic.
