Precision Instruments for Airflow Measurement, Duct Testing, and System Balancing

Accurate HVAC testing is the foundation of system performance, energy efficiency, and indoor air quality. Whether you’re verifying airflow at a supply register, balancing an entire system, or checking duct integrity for code compliance, reliable measurement tools are essential.

Kanomax USA delivers a trusted lineup of HVAC testing instruments designed for test and balance (TAB) professionals, commissioning agents, and HVAC service technicians. Our solutions help streamline diagnostics, simplify system verification, and ensure compliance with ASHRAE, SMACNA, and IECC standards.

Field-Tested Tools for Complete HVAC Evaluation

Hot-Wire Anemometers

Kanomax hot-wire anemometers provide high-resolution airflow measurements, especially useful for low-velocity airflows in diffusers, laminar flow devices, and ventilation systems. Their precision makes them ideal for troubleshooting and spot-checking during commissioning and system tuning.

HVAC Testing Anemometers

Built for everyday use, our general-purpose HVAC anemometers measure air velocity, temperature, and volumetric flow. Rugged and user-friendly, these tools are ideal for quick system assessments and routine maintenance in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. Professional models feature articulating probes for measuring tough to reach places.

Rotating Vane Anemometers

For larger ducts and high-volume ventilation systems, rotating vane anemometers provide a reliable way to measure air velocity and flow in HVAC diffusers and exhausts. These durable tools are ideal for field use and provide immediate, accurate results across a wide airflow range.

TABmasterTM Test and Balance Balometers

The Kanomax TABmasterTM is a premier test and balance balometer used by professionals across North America. It accurately measures airflow at supply and return grilles, helping to balance air distribution, verify HVAC performance, and document compliance with building specs. Lightweight and intuitive, the TABmaster is a must-have for TAB contractors and commissioning teams.

Duct Air Leakage Tester (DALT)

The Kanomax DALT is designed to help contractors and energy auditors identify and quantify air leakage in duct systems. Compliant with SMACNA and ASHRAE 90.1, this tester supports fast, accurate duct leakage measurements for both residential and commercial HVAC systems, helping verify performance and reduce energy waste.

HVAC Testing Applications:

  • Air balancing and flow verification at diffusers, grilles, and registers
  • Duct leakage testing for energy audits and code compliance
  • HVAC system commissioning and performance validation
  • Troubleshooting airflow issues in supply and return systems
  • Indoor air quality assessment through proper airflow distribution
  • Residential, commercial, and institutional HVAC system testing
