This is a very high-tech and expensive VaneometerTM. I am kidding, it is only around $40 and it may be one of the simplest safety devices we will ever use. But don’t let the price or simplicity fool you – it is an ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL device for those of you that have ventilation systems, especially ventilation intended for flammable vapors/gases. Both the IFC and NFPA require our ventilation systems to be FUNCTIONALLY TESTED on an ANNUAL basis and we will can this using a vaneometerTM
The device was designed for measuring/testing air flows on lab hoods but can be used to measure airflow at ventilation pick-up points.
