Handheld Indoor Air Quality Meters: Particle Counters, Humidity Meters, Sound Monitors

Temperature and humidity are the foundation of indoor air quality (IAQ)

We rely on HVAC equipment to maintain acceptable temperature, humidity and ventilation levels for occupant health and comfort, and, now more than ever, to help regulate building health and manage increasing energy costs. The relationship between HVAC equipment, occupied space requirements, building materials, weather conditions and pressure differentials is an ever-changing dynamic process for indoor air diagnostics (IAD). 

Frequently asked questions for indoor quality testing

How to Test Indoor Air Quality?

Testing indoor air quality effectively requires a reliable air quality meter. Fluke offers advanced air quality testing tools designed for HVAC and facilities technicians. These tools help quickly and accurately assess air quality parameters, including temperature, humidity, and airflow. For comprehensive air quality testing, you can use a device like the Fluke 975, which combines multiple measurement functions in one portable tool. Alternatively, the Fluke 985 is a portable, advanced particle counter for determining airborne particle concentrations.

How to Test Humidity Levels with a Humidity Meter?

To test humidity levels, a digital humidity meter is essential. Fluke's humidity meters are equipped to measure humidity with precision. These meters provide real-time data, allowing for immediate assessment of indoor air conditions. The Fluke 975, for instance, can be used to measure humidity levels alongside temperature measurements.

What is a Sound Level Meter?

A sound level meter is a device designed to measure the level of sound in an environment. Sound level meters play a crucial role in industrial environments for ensuring compliance with noise regulations, maintaining a safe working environment and more.

How Does a Sound Level Meter Work?

Sound level meters work by using a microphone to capture sound. The sound waves are then converted into an electrical signal and measured. The results are typically displayed in decibels (dB).

Benefits of Using Air Quality Meters for HVAC Systems

Air quality testers offer vital features for HVAC system analysis. These meters let technicians work more efficiently, accurately assessing air flow, humidity, and temperature. This leads to better HVAC system performance and indoor air quality.

How to Ensure Accurate Air Quality Measurements?

For accurate air quality measurements, it's important to use reliable and calibrated equipment. Fluke's range of air quality meters are known for their accuracy and durability. To get accurate results, HVAC professionals need to use the best test air quality testers.
