Flow Measuring Equipment: Calibration Requirements (2018)

Description

This Technical Paper was prepared to give guidance on the equipment and calibration requirements for air flow measuring equipment. The flow measuring equipment is required when carrying out air monitoring to collect various contaminants and determining airborne concentrations of those contaminants.

The sampling may be required for personal or static (i.e. fixed location) sampling whereby the air flow (i.e. air velocity) is required to be set at a desired rate according to the sampling method in use. The results of the air sampling may be used for risk assessments and determining compliance against the workplace exposure standards (WES).
