AIRFLOW DATA
FAN RATINGS
Fans are rated at standard conditions of air: 1.2041 kg/m
conditions must be used when selecting fans from fan rating tables or curves. Table 21 gives correction factors.
Pressure at operating conditions x factor = pressure at standard conditions.
Horsepower at standard conditions
CAUTION: Size motor for highest density (lowest factor) condition at which it is expected to operate.
