ULTRAC Airflow Measuring Stations use multiple averaging Pitots to determine total velocity and static pressure measurements. The Pitot sensors are placed across the flow stream according to industry standards for equal-area averaging (the standard Pitot traverse).

ULTRAC's unique AMS construction eliminates nonessential hardware that can cause build-up of dirt and foreign matter on the measuring assembly.

ULTRAC Airflow Measurement Stations are available in round, rectangular and oval configurations. All configurations feature a sensor assembly that allows for duct expansion and contraction. The 12-inch flanged steel casing has an aluminum, hexagon-celled straightening vane section that is mechanically fastened to the inlet. This eliminates turbulence and corrects flow direction, thereby increasing the velocity profile

Airflow measuring stations shall be of the multiple averaging Pitot, static pressure sensor type, with all total pressure sensors distributed for equal-area averaging of flows. They shall be of unitary (spool-piece) construction, of not less than 16-gauge sheet steel with flanged duct connections. Flow-straightening vanes shall be incorporated into the structure. Internal Pitot and static sensor shall be constructed of copper to ASTM B88 standards. Instrument connections shall be 1/2" NPT Female. Mounting hardware shall not penetrate the sensor assembly.
