ASHRAE 41.9 Radiative Thermal Output Testing in HVAC Units: Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Service

The ASHRAE 41.9 radiative thermal output testing in HVAC units is a laboratory test that measures the amount of heat emitted by heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. This test is governed by various international and national standards, including ISO, ASTM, EN, TSE, and ASHRAE.

International Standards

  • ISO 5167:1998(E) - Measurement of fluid flow in pipes using orifice plates, nozzles, and Venturi tubes

  • ISO 5168:2005 - Tests for determination of the coefficient of discharge (CD) of orifices and nozzles used for measuring fluid flow in closed conduits

  • ASTM E2151-01 - Standard Test Method for Measuring Heat Output of Air-Cooled Package Terminal Units

    • National Standards

  • EN 13053:2015 - Ventilation for buildings Performance testing of components/products to determine the air leakage rate under defined pressure difference

  • ASHRAE 41.9-2008 - Laboratory measurement of heat gain from ventilation and cooling systems

    • Standard Development Organizations (SDOs)

    The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is a non-profit organization that develops and publishes international standards. The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) is another prominent SDO that develops and publishes standards for materials, products, and services.
