• AMCA Approves Manual for AirflowMeasurement Stations

    June 1, 2010
    AMCA 611-10 prescribes and establishes procedures to be used in the development and publication of certified performance ratings for airflow measurement stations.

    The Air Movement and Control Association International, Inc. (AMCA) International) announced that AMCA Publication 611-10, Certified Ratings Program - Product Rating Manual for Airflow Measurement Stations, was approved by the AMCA International membership on May 2, 2010.

    AMCA 611-10 prescribes and establishes procedures to be used in the development and publication of certified performance ratings for airflow measurement stations. Certified ratings provide assurance to the buyer, user, and specifier that the manufacturer’s published performance ratings for airflow measurement stations are repeatable; information on how the product was tested; what appurtenances (accessories or optional equipment) were accounted for in the ratings; and other pertinent information.

    The AMCA 611-10 program applies to products or systems that output either analog electronic (E) or non-electronic (NE) signals. A non–electronic output is considered analog differential pressure, which requires additional hardware to convert differential pressure to an electronic signal.
