Flow Bench | Air Flow Measurement

Flow Performance Electronic Manometer/Flow Rate Processor

For flow benches, HVAC, aerodynamic research

Real-time pressure, cfm and/or velocity readings. Automatic test pressure control possible

Works with flow benches and velocity probes

Sorftware is Free with purchase of FP1 or system.

FPcom is easy to install and use. FPcom will also send data directly into an Excel spreadsheet in real time for the ultimate in data processing, display, and storage. Features big number display and event recording document.

Air Flow Control Valve

Our PWM Valves connect to our FP1 Electronic Flow Rate Processor to control air pressure to a preset value.

Perfect for automatic test pressure control on just about any flow bench

Adapters for flow benches Flow benches require an adapter to connect the test piece to the flow bench. Cylinder bore adaptors simulate the cylinder of an internal combustion engine for cylinder head flow testing on a flow bench. These adapters work with our FR4 Bench Receptacle and our Electronic Flow Bench System. Available in most any size up to 4.385"

Special order cylinder test stands with bores up to 5.0" also available.

A flowbench can measure the air flow capacity of an automotive cylinder head, and many other items.

This flow bench uses a shop vacuum for estimated flow data. While using a shop vacuum to move air through the flow bench, the FP1 processor estimates the flow data to 28"wc test pressure, in real time, as the flow test is being performed.

This is a demo of a big-block Ford head being tested on the FP2.0BS flow bench, in stock form, then after some mild porting and valve work.

This flow bench (FP2.0BS) uses a shop vacuum for estimated flow data. While the real test pressure is quite low using a shop vacuum, the FP1 processor estimates the flow data to 28"wc test pressure, in real time, as the flow test is being performed.

A larger, more powerful air supply can also be used with this kit for real cfm data at high test pressures.
