The mean velocity in the duct is obtained by calculating the arithmetic mean of the velocities at the individual
points.

The volume flowrate shall be calculated by multiplying this mean velocity by the area calculated using the mean
diameter.

8.4.2.3 Annular sections immediately upstream from an axial flow fan

The velocity area method may be used for measuring the flowrate in annular sections provided that the following
conditions are fulfilled.

a) The minimum number of equally spaced radii shall be six.

b) The minimum number of four measuring points per radius shall be spread out along the radii in accordance
with the log-linear rule.

The positioning of the measuring points (Figure 12) depends on the value of the ratio of the diameters Da/D
and is given in Table 4 (for four points per radius). For intermediate values, the position of the measuring
points will be located by linear interpolation of the data in this table.

The mean velocity shall be obtained by calculating the arithmetic mean of all the velocities recorded in the
section.

c) The flowrate shall be determined by multiplying the area of the cross section by the mean velocity.
