Spray Booth Air Flow Meter

Running this spray booth for twenty minutes requires 262 080 cubic feet of available air.

Spray booth air flow meter. Booth spray room. The air flow rate and ventilation system on the paint booth ensures that the airflow rate will keep the concentration of vapors in the mists below twenty five percent in the exhaust stream. Paint spray booths can be separated into many different type classifications based on the method in which the air flow through the booth is handled filtered and directed. All booths can be classified as either open type non pressurized or pressurized.

Typical paint booth air flow values can be read about here or just remember typically a cross draft paint booth will have air flow of about 100 feet per minute based on the width and height of the booth a downdraft will have air flow of about 50 feet per minute. Even though these ventilation systems reduce vapors in the mist users still must wear appropriate respiratory equipment while painting as required by osha. Once you have measured the air flow you will want to see what the original design specification for your paint booth airflow was.
