Description
TSI Alnor EBT731 Balometer Capture Hood with Detachable Micromanometer
Take accurate, direct air volume measurements at diffusers and grilles
The EBT731 Balometer Capture Hood is a multipurpose electronic air balancing instrument primarily used for efficiently taking direct air volume readings at diffusers and grilles. The EBT features a detachable micromanometer which can be used with optional probes for increased flexibility in multiple measurement applications. Offering durable, trouble-free operation, this lightweight, ergonomically designed capture hood kit saves time and money by combining multiple measurement tools into one package. The EBT731 Balometer Capture Hood helps you create healthy and energy efficient environments while meeting local codes, guidelines and regulations for ventilation systems.
As standard, the EBT731 Balometer Capture Hood includes a detachable EBT730 micromanometer—one of the most advanced, versatile, and easy to use micromanometers on the market today. The EBT730 features an auto-zeroing pressure sensor that increases measurement resolution and accuracy as well as integrates an intuitive menu structure to facilitate simple operation.
