Overview

EN 14277:2006 is a CEN European Standard for ventilation in buildings that defines laboratory methods to measure and rate the airflow measurement accuracy of fixed measurement devices. It covers air terminal devices (ATD), plenum/ATD boxes and in-duct measurement stations (IMS) using calibrated sensors placed in or close to the device or plenum box. The standard addresses both the determination of a device’s calibration curve and its sensitivity to flow disturbances (e.g., nearby bends, T-pieces), with specific test configurations and reporting requirements.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope and purpose: Laboratory aerodynamic testing and rating of fixed airflow measurement devices and assessment of sensitivity to flow disturbance.
• Calibration curve: Measured by placing the device in series with a reference flow meter and adjustable fan; flow straighteners and uniform upstream velocity profiles (±10%) are required.
• Test points: Measurements at manufacturer’s minimum and maximum flow rates plus three approximately equally spaced intermediate values, tested in increasing and decreasing sequences.
• Built-in dampers: If integral, tests must include fully open and 50% positions (and more positions where flow differs by >6%); repeatability and hysteresis checks required.
• Disturbance sensitivity: Defines 5% (L5) and 10% (L10) calibration lengths - distances within which measurement error stays within those percentages relative to the calibration curve, expressed as functions of characteristic duct length.
• Instrumentation requirements:
  • Flow meters compliant with EN ISO 5167 parts 1–4 or ISO 5221; calibration accuracy ±2.5% minimum.
  • Pressure measurement resolution and uncertainty per defined ranges (examples: resolution 0.1 Pa for ranges up to 50 Pa; calibration uncertainty ≤ ±0.5 Pa for ranges ≤100 Pa).
  • Temperature measurement resolution better than 0.5 K and calibration accuracy ±0.25 K.
• Sampling: Guidance on sample selection (three samples per size for calibration, one per size for disturbance tests when appropriate).
• Annex A: Describes a zero‑pressure difference method used where low duct velocity makes other flow measurements difficult.
