FLOXACTTM PROBE

AIRFLOW
Multifunctional air flow probe

FloXact probe measures air volume in HVAC systems. Its intelligent


design makes for easy installation in existing ducts or terminals.

Operating on the pitot tube principle, FloXact probe measures the


total (PTOTAL) and static (PSTATIC) pressure components of air flow.
The probe determines average air flow, measured over 6, 8, or 10
precisely positioned sensing ports, depending on the length of ducts.
The unique shape (patent pending) of the probe profile creates a lin-
ear amplification of at least 2.5 times the velocity pressure (PVEL),
providing accurate measurement of lower air velocities down to 1.0
m/s (200 FPM). Chamfered entrances to the sensing ports eliminate
air-direction affects, making the FloXact probe insensitive to ap-
proaching multi-directional, rotating airflow with yaw and pitch up to
30º from straight flow.

FloXact probe is easy to install and completes an accurate and cost-


effective air flow station, when combined with a differential pres-
sure transmitter. The probe integrates with most differential pressure
transmitters, yet improved accuracy is obtained when output is linear
to airflow rather than pressure. HK Instruments DPT-Flow line of air
flow transmitters pairs well with FloXact probe.

KEY FEATURES
• Multi-point averaging based on the “Log-Tchebycheff“ method, Easy installation with sizing that matches existing ducts.
providing greater accuracy
• Chamfered sensing points ensure consistent readings
• Easy installation in existing air ducts or terminals
• 2% accuracy DIMENSIONS
• 2.5 times linear amplification of Velocity Pressure
• Accepts 1/4” OD tubing

HOW IT WORKS

The air volume can be determined with the following formula:


Q = KV x √Pfs

Q = air volume in l/s


KV = K V value in l/s/Pa (you can find this from the floxact sticker
Pfs = pressure difference measured by the FloXact stick in Pa
The formula is for air with 1.20 kg/m3 density
(20 °C, 50 % rH and 1013 mbar).
