HWANEMOMETER

TSI's VELOCICALC® Air Velocity Meters are easy to use from the first time you pick them up. The Models 8345 and 8346 measure velocity and temperature, calculate flow rate, perform multi-value averaging, and determine minimum and maximum readings. The Models 8347 and 8347(A) add a humidity measurement and perform dew point and wet bulb temperature calculations.

1 Temperature compensated over an air temperature range of 40 to 150°F (5 to 65°C).
2 The accuracy statement of 3.0% of reading or ±3 ft/min (±0.015 m/s), applies to 30 ft/min
through 6,000 ft/min.
3 Accuracy with instrument case at 77°F (25°C), add uncertainty of 0.03°C/°C
(0.05°F/°F) for change in instrument temperature.
4 Actual range is a function of maximum velocity and duct size.
5 Accuracy with probe at 77°F (25°C). Add uncertainty of 0.1% rh/°F (0.2% rh/°C)
for change in probe temperature. Includes 1% hysteresis.
