Air Velocity & Flow Calibration

Air Velocity

The original  Air Meter was invented by the late R.M. Lowne  an English  Inventor in 1865.  At the International Inventions Exhibition held in London in 1885, a silver medal was awarded to Mr. Lowne's company for Portable Air Meters.

Air Meters were for over a hundred  years the most satisfactory instruments for obtaining accurate measurement of air velocities in Mines, Ventilators, flues etc.

Littlebrook Calibration Services is one of the highest accuracy ISO17025 Accredited Air Velocity Calibration Laboratories in Europe. We are able to offer a range of calibrations to meet your technical needs and financial constraints:

Air Velocity measurement against a Laser Doppler anemometer
Calibration of Wind tunnels and similar devices:
0.05 m/s to 75 m/s: ± 0.35% + 0.0065 m/s
Calibration of Anemometers and Pitot Tubes against a Laser Doppler Anemometer:
0.05 m/s to 50 m/s: ± 0.6% + 0.015 m/s

Accredited Pitot Static Tube Calibration forms part of the United Kingdom’s Mcert Accreditation Scheme for the Accredited Testing of Industries ‘Environmental Emissions. Typical E and S type pitot calibrations against the laser Doppler system have Velocity Uncertainties from 3 m/s to 50 m/s of  ±(06 % + 0.015 m/s). Both τ and κ and their associated uncertainties at various velocities are also reported. The uncertainty of Pressure measurement is typically ±(0.15 % + 0.25 Pa).

Air Flow

Littlebrook Calibration’s have Accredited procedures in place for the calibration of Air Flow used in volumetric flow of air and gases in pharmaceutical , medical, air condition, and manufacturing industries.

Linear Flow Device

Volume flow - air
1000l/min to 40000l/min ± 3%
*Flow calibrations Air & Argon up to 35ºC
3.3l/min to 333l/min ± 1% to 1.8%
333l to 1000l/min ± 5%
*Flow extention of accreditation for Air & Argon system at various temperature in process
