Higher than expected pressure drops can lead to higher fan energy usage. Conclusion
Required to be in accordance with ASHRAE Standard 41.2 , with an accuracy of of the reading. Temperature Accuracy: Instruments must have an accuracy of 0.2∘F0.2 raised to the composed with power cap F 0.1∘C0.1 raised to the composed with power cap C
: The latest update expands the scope to include modern air-device types and more stringent testing requirements. Key Updates in the 2023 Edition
The 2023 edition covers a broader range of sizes and modern air-device types, including displacement ventilation underfloor outlets , which were less common when the 2006 version was written. Instrumentation Accuracy:
The ASHRAE Standard 70-2006 PDF updated includes several changes and updates, including:
The static and total pressure loss caused by the device, which affects fan energy consumption. Area Factors ( Akcap A sub k
The maximum vertical distance that the centerline of a horizontally projected airstream drops below the device's horizontal axis.
ASHRAE maintains its technical documents on a strict periodic review cycle. When a standard is reviewed and found to still be technically sound without needing major rewrites, it is "Reaffirmed" (RA). Key Updates in the 2023 Edition : Measuring
