Apparatus5.1 Plenum ChamberSee Specification F431 or IEC 60312, Section 5.2.8.2 (Figure 13c).62885-2, Section 5.8.3.5.2 Water Manometers, or equivalent instruments. One to measure from 0 to 6 in. (152.4 mm) in increments of 0.0

26、1 in. (0.254mm), and one with increments of 0.1 in. (2.54 mm) for use in making measurements above 6 in. (152.4 mm). A single instrumenthaving a resolution of 0.01 in.

28、orrections may be neededfor temperature and gravity. Consult the owners manual.5.4.2 When purchasing an aneroid or electronic barometer, be sure to purchase one which displays the absolute barometricpressure, not the mean sea level equivalent barometric pressure value.
