Diy Flow Bench

One of our favorites is a diy bench which is always a great way to provide a practical and decorative accent both inside and out.

Diy flow bench.

This micro flow bench is the most basic easiest to build flow bench using the flow performance kit fp2 0bs. Benches are appropriate both indoors and outdoors and can be used for storage for decoration or just to sit on and reflect. Start with a reading on the manometer with the plate completely blocked off for a zero flow depression test. This flow bench uses a shop vacuum for estimated flow data.

Building a motor controller severely increases the complexity of the project but gives more possibilities for convenient automated testing and more importantly consistency. With high tech electronic sensors and a patented state of the art air flow metering element effective flow rate measurements can now be made with nothing more than an average shop vac for an air source. The diy flow bench projects aim is to build a basic affordable diy flow bench using readily available components. The flow bench is used as a tool for measuring and quantifying modifications and improvements made to items such as automotive cylinder heads and carburettors by detecting air flow improvements.

Currently the project is focused on making a basic flow bench using an automotive maf sensor and arduino controller. Diy flowbench design diy flowbench design and construction what s a flowbench. The diy flow bench is a basic system to measure and display volumetric air flow. While using a shop vacuum to move air through the flow bench the fp1 processor estimates the flow data to 28 wc test pressure in real time as the flow test is being performed.

Establishing the numbers step 1. Open the 5 cfm orifice. A flowbench or air flow bench is a tool to measure the air flow capabilities of anything that s required to do this. This is a valid option but we instead opted to build a motor controller.
