Lindab FMI Insert Flow Gauge Instruction Manual
Description
Insert flow gauge FMI is a calibrated orifice plate that can be installed in circular ducts where it is necessary to measure the volume flow. The pressure over the gauge is taken from the two nipples, and the volume flow is determined using the diagram or the accompanying curve constants.
FMI can be installed after duct installation and also in exist- ing systems.

Technical data
The Volumeflow (q) can be calculated from the following formulas:
q = k1√ Δp [m3/h] q = k2 √ Δp [l/s
| Ød1 [mm] | K1 [m3/h] | K2 [l/s] |

Technical data
Pressure loss – Sound effect
The diagram shows the current pressure loss as a function of the volume flow and A-weighted sound effect level LWA dB(A) at duct. Frequencyrelated sound effect at duct is shown in the table below.

Measurement accuracy
The length of the straight section of ducting required as a minimum to limit the method error to 5% or 10% respectively
is shown in the chart, (d1 is nom. duct dimension).
*) “Tee-Piece” here means a circular joint consisting of a Tee- piece or an attachment.
