ULTRAPROBE AMPS Airflow Measuring Probe Stations

Applications

ULTRATECH ULTRAPROBE Airflow Measuring Probe Stations provide accurate, repeatable measurement of air movement through ducts and piping. Lightweight, rugged construction coupled with ease of installation and economical pricing make these devices particularly applicable to the HVAC trade. Durable, quality construction ensures long term, trouble-free operation. ULTRAC Airflow Measuring Probe Stations are compatible with manometers, differential pressure gauges, and differential pressure transmitters used for airflow indication and control.

Description

ULTRAPROBE Airflow Measuring Probe Stations are designed per standard duct traverse requirements. These probes are designed to match the balancer’s industry standard Pitot tube, including the method of static pressure measurement and distance between the total pressure and static pressure sensing holes.

ULTRAPROBE Airflow Measuring Probe Stations use multiple averaging Pitots to determine total velocity and static pressure measurements. ULTRAPROBE’s unique AMPS construction eliminates nonessential hardware that can cause buildup of dirt and foreign matter on the measuring assembly.

ULTRAPROBE Airflow Measuring Probe Stations are available in round, rectangular and oval configurations. All configurations feature a sensor assembly that allows for duct expansion and contraction. The 12-inch flanged steel casing has an aluminum, hexagon-celled straightening vane section that is mechanically fastened to the inlet. This eliminates turbulence and corrects flow direction, thereby improving the velocity profile.

Various casing designs are available, as are most type of proprietary duct connecting systems. Contact ULTRATECH about these options.
