(Test Method)Standard Test Method for Measuring Air Performance Characteristics of Vacuum Cleaner Motor/Fan Systems
Standard Test Method for Measuring Air Performance Characteristics of Vacuum Cleaner Motor/Fan Systems
SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers procedures for determining air performance characteristics of series universal motor/fan systems used in commercial and household upright, canister, stick, hand-held utility, combination-type vacuum cleaners, and household central vacuum cleaning systems.
1.2 These tests and calculations include determination of suction, airflow, air power, maximum air power, and input power under specified operating conditions.
Note 1—For more information on air performance characteristics, see References (1) through (6).
1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
1.4 This standard may involve hazardous materials, operations, and equipment. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
