Definitions, test unit and test installations, methods of test, presentation of data, extrapolation of data for geometrically similar sections and for those which are geometrically similar except for the fans, guide to the rating of air handling units.

This British Standard describes methods for volumetric testing for rating of fan sections in central station air handling units.

It specifies how fan section test data may be extrapolated to cover:

  1. fan sections that are geometrically similar in all respects to the one tested;
  2. fan sections where the components and air passages, but not the fans, are geometrically similar.

Appendix A provides a guide to the volumetric and thermal rating of complete air handling units.

NOTE. The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.
