Baffle Filters Style Hoods with the Shortridge Meter
A. Exhaust
With all the filters in place, determine the total hood exhaust
volume with a Shortridge meter as follows:
1. All cooking equipment should be on. If the hood has
internal short circuit make-up air, it should be turned off.
2. Measuring Velocities
•SetuptheShortridgemeter.
•For20in.(500mm)widefilters,positionthegridas
shown in Fig. 32 and 33. Average two measurements.
•For16in.(400mm)widefilterspositionthegridas
shown in Fig. 34.
•Takevelocityreadingsforeachfilter.
3. *Calculate each filter’s volumetric flow rate by summing
the flow rate of each individual filter in the hood.
4. *Calculate the total hood’s volumetric flow rate by
summing the flow rate of each individual filter in the hood.
*Note: For best accuracy multiply the velocity of each filter by its
conversion factor and sum the flow rates. Averaging the velocity
measured for all filters may cause error.
Example: Measured velocities for 20 x 20 filter = 185 and 189 fpm
