Title Calculation of the rate of air extraction by an exhaust system by measuring the velocity field at the opening
Original title Calcul des débits d'air extraits par un dispositif d'aspiration à partir de l'exploration du champ des vitesses dans son ouverture [in French]
Bibliographic information 1st Quarter 1990, No.138, Note No.1765-138-90, p.53-64. Illus. 5 ref.
Abstract This study carried out by INRS was designed, on one hand, to determine the influence of several parameters (distance between the opening and the anemometer, velocity field measurement and layout, type of anemometer, air velocity...) on the determination of air flow rate extracted by an exhaust system by velocity field measurement at the opening, and on the other hand, to provide industrial hygienists with valuable information to help them take measurements under better conditions.
