Model-160G

Supported Applications

The Dwyer Model 160G Averaging Air Flow Grid is a precision sensing instrument designed to measure face air velocity on grills, diffusers, registers, exhaust hoods, coils, filters, dampers, and similar restrictions. The device provides an average flow sensing area across its dimensions using 16 sensing points.

Operating Conditions & Performance

The Model 160G operates within a measurement range of 1000 to 5000 FPM (5 to 25 m/s) with an accuracy of ±2% FS. The instrument is rated for temperature limits from -40 to 257°F (-40° to 125°C). It utilizes a K Factor of 0.84 and accepts air or compatible gases as the service media.
