5.1 Flow rate/pressure
5.1.1 Principle
The test consists of applying various static pressure differences through an air transfer device and
measuring the induced volume flow rates in order to define the flow rate/pressure characteristic curve.
5.1.2 Test installation and uncertainty of measurement
5.1.2.1 Test installation
Externally and internally mounted air transfer devices shall be mounted, according to the manufacturer's
instructions, for testing on a board which represents the thickness of the partition on which they are
intended to be mounted.
If the opening is not provided as a part of the test sample, it shall be replaced by an opening(s) in the
board. The opening(s) in the board shall be clearly defined and reported in the test report.
Typical examples of air transfer devices mounted on a board are given in Annex B.
Examples for thickness of the board are given in Table 2.

The air transfer device to be tested shall be installed in the board in accordance with Figure 2.
The test installation shall consist of (see Figure 2):
— a test box where air velocity is negligible (see design data given in Figure 2).
The test box shall be rigid enough to avoid a pulsing air flow. Displacement of more than 2 mm shall
not be accepted on any face under the given test conditions;
— a means for measuring static pressure inside the test box relative to the surrounding space with an
uncertainty in accordance with 5.1.2.2;
— a measuring duct with an air flow meter and air flow straightener in accordance with the series
EN ISO 5167. Other measurement devices may be used, provided they allow measurements with an
uncertainty in accordance with 5.1.2.2;
— a fan with means to vary the pressure difference across the air transfer device, covering the range of
Table 4.
The test facilities shall have a range from 0 Pa to 100 Pa.
