Industrial rooftop airflow measurement using a pitot tube and digital manometer

Independent measurement & reporting

Get real airflow numbers — not guesses.

If suction feels weak, filters keep plugging, or a new install “should be better”, we help you prove what the system is actually doing. Clear measurements, plain-English reporting, and practical next steps.

Services

Measurement and reporting first, with a light touch of consulting. No equipment sales. No commission.

Dust collection performance verification

CFM measurements, capture checks, and bottleneck identification to confirm real suction where it matters.

Local exhaust ventilation (LEV) testing

Hood airflow and capture checks for welding fumes, grinding dust, and process exhaust.

Make-up air + building pressure balance

Verify supply vs exhaust, diagnose negative pressure issues, and document practical corrections.

Fan & blower performance verification

Confirm operating point using measured airflow and static pressure—especially after complaints or retrofits.

Post-install / post-modification validation

Independent sign-off after new ducting, new branches, collector changeouts, or equipment additions.

Troubleshooting (root cause)

When “it never worked right”—measure, isolate causes, and prioritize fixes without upsell pressure.

How it works

Simple process, clean documentation. We keep the report as technical as it needs to be—no more.

On-site flow

  1. Short scope call (systems, access, safety)
  2. Walkdown + measurement plan
  3. Pitot tube traverse + pressure readings
  4. Photos + point IDs so it’s repeatable

What we hand you

  • A clear summary of measured performance
  • What’s limiting the system (and why)
  • “Try first” fixes vs bigger changes
  • Optional baseline for future re-checks

Annual & bi-annual dust collection verification reports

Dust collection airflow performance drifts over time. Filters load, fans wear, ducting gets modified, and production creeps — often without obvious alarms. A simple recurring verification cadence keeps you ahead of problems and creates clear documentation.

Recommended cadence

  • Annual: higher dust load, frequent changes, or audit / EHS sensitivity
  • Bi-annual: stable systems with minimal modifications
  • Also recommended after ducting, hood, fan, or process changes

Why it’s important

  • Catch gradual airflow loss before operators feel it
  • Reduce housekeeping issues and nuisance dust
  • Document “baseline vs current” for defensible decisions
  • Verify that maintenance or upgrades actually worked

What you get each cycle

  • Repeatable point IDs + photos for consistent re-checks
  • Clear summary of measured airflow and constraints
  • Flags for meaningful drift vs prior reports (if available)
  • Prioritized fixes: “try first” vs capital projects

Common triggers for a scheduled review

  • Filter plugging / maintenance costs climbing
  • “Weak suction” complaints or visible dust escape
  • Upcoming EHS / insurer / internal audits
  • New machines added to an existing system over time

Deliverables

Readable, specific, and defensible.

Measurement summary

Results by measurement point, with assumptions and constraints stated clearly.

Findings & bottlenecks

Observed issues that explain performance, prioritized by impact.

Practical next steps

Recommendations with scope clarity (what to try first, and why).

Year-over-year comparison

For recurring programs, we can compare results against prior reports (when available) to spot drift and prioritize fixes.

FAQ

Quick answers about access, measurement, and reporting.

Do you sell equipment or do installs? vendor-neutral

No. We focus on independent measurement, verification, and clean documentation. Recommendations are scoped and prioritized—without sales pressure.

What methods do you use? field measurement

Established field practices: pitot tube traverses, static pressure readings, clear assumptions, and repeatable point IDs. If you have an internal spec, we can align to it.

How long does a site take? often 1–2 days

Many facilities can be measured in a day with reporting shortly after. Complex systems or large sites may take multiple days.

Can you work with our contractor or engineer? yes

Yes. We can coordinate measurement points and reporting needs while remaining independent—useful for close-out, warranty, or dispute resolution.

How often should we re-verify dust collection airflow? annual / bi-annual

Many facilities choose annual verification for higher dust loads or frequent changes, and bi-annual verification for stable systems. Re-checking is also smart after ducting, hood, fan, or process changes—airflow drift is common and usually not obvious day-to-day.

Do you keep measurement points consistent year-over-year? repeatable

When access allows, yes. We use point IDs and photos so the same locations can be re-checked and compared over time.

Typical reasons people call

  • “Suction feels weak” or dust/fumes escaping
  • Filters plugging / maintenance costs climbing
  • New install—need independent validation
  • After adding equipment, existing pickups underperform
  • Upcoming EHS / insurer audit—need defensible documentation
