B. Supply (if applicable):
Perforated Face Supply
1. Hood set up.
If the make-up air unit has a temperature control, it
should be used to keep the supply air at the desired
room discharge air temperature.
2. Measure velocities.
Divide the perforated face panel into a grid of equal
areas, each approximately 4 in. (101.6 mm) square.
Measure the velocity at the center of each grid
area. A digital 2.75 in. (69.85 mm) rotating vane
anemometer or equivalent is suggested. The center
of the anemometer should be held tight to the face
of the panel and parallel to the filter. Both squareness
and distance are important for accuracy. Calculate
the average velocity of the panel.
3. Measure the length and height of the perforated face
panel.

4. Calculate the perforated face panel volume using the
following formula:
CFM = avg. velocity x length (in.) x height (in.) x 0.005
m/hr = avg. velocity x length (m) x height (m) x 0.72
5. Calculate the system’s volume by repeating the
process for the remaining panels and adding the
individual panel volumes together.
