TSI Alnor 6200D LoFlo Balometer. In Stock and Ready to Ship.

Alnor 6200D LoFlo Balometer with Capture Hood measures supply or return air flows from 10 to 500 cfm (17 to 850 m3/h) with +/- accuracy of 3%. This LoFlo balometer is the ideal way to measure very low volumetric airflow and perform measurements in tight spaces.

Key Features:

Small size and weight ideal for hard to reach places

For small diffusers only a base can be used

Measures low air flow 10 to 500 cfm (17–850 m3/h) (4.7–236 l/s)

Accurate ± (3% + 5 cfm)

10 hours of continuous work provided by 4 batteries

Comes with NIST calibration certificate

Certified by CEC (California Energy Commission)

The TSI 6200D light weight – only 6.5 lbs - makes it ideal for residential or commercial use. The small and compact size – only 34.5 inch high - allows for use in hard to reach places, where regular size air capture hoods cannot be used.

The hood fabric and frame is 2’x2’; however, when you have smaller grilles, diffusers, or registers, you can use the instrument base only, without a hood, to perform all measurements of the HVAC ventilation system.

This Alnor LoFlo balometer uses a vent system devised by the company. The system reduced restriction to air flow introduced by the instrument itself; therefore, allowing to measure a relatively wide range of air flow.

Why would you use TSI Alnor instrument?

This is the most trusted brand, when it comes to air capture hoods, and all instruments come with NIST Calibration Certificate. Made in USA.

Even CEC the California Energy Commission certified this instrument, as meeting the following standards: the 2013 California Building Efficiency Standards (Title 24, Part 6) Section 100.0 (h), residential Appendices Section RA3.3.2.1 and RA3.7.3

The kit includes:

Main instrument
2’x2’ hood fabric and frame
Batteries
Carrying case
NIST Calibration Certificate
User’s manual

Alnor 6200 series of LoFlo air capture hoods offers four models. The main difference between them is height of the balometer and hood dimensions - see examples below:

Alnor 6200D - 34.5 inch (876 mm) total height - hood: 24 x 24 inch (610 x 610 mm) and 19 inch (482 mm) heigh
Alnor 6200 - 22 inch (559 mm) total height - hood: 16 x 16 inch (406 x 406 mm) and 8 inch (200 mm) heigh
Alnor 6200E - base only 15.5 inch (394 mm)
Alnor 6200F - 32 inch (813 mm) total height - hood: 16 x 16 inch (406 x 406 mm) and 18 inch (457 mm) heigh

US made and always certified

TSI makes good gear. pretty simple. MAnufactured in the USA which still matters to old guys like me, really it should matter to everybody because it’s a good indicator of quality. Also all the meters are NIST certified, this acts almost like an accuracy guarantee. At least, it will do what it says on the specs and you can trace the proof. Other than that not much to say, if you need a meter like this you know what it does. And if you need one TSI makes the best.

Lots to recommend

I’m a big fan of TSI airflow instruments. That probably sounds nerdy and maybe it is but they make work so much easier that I’m fine with saying it. The 6200 is for doing slower flowing grilles when you don’t need reporting and data tracking (you’ll need the EBT731 for that sort of thing). The letter after the part number just tells you which hood fabric size comes with it. this one is 2 by 2 feet. If you have a really small grille you can also just go without a hood and use the base solo. Essentially these meters do a duct traverse for you automatically (i hope you’ll know what that is!) Made in the good ol’ US of A and NISt certified. Not much NOT to like here. No need to shop around if you need flow hoods I think. TSI is an easy choice.

comes with extra warranty

Nowadays most of testers come with one-year manufacturer's warranty. 6200D warranty is for 2 years. This gave me a confidence in the quality of the hood and made my invetment more sound. So far, it's been working perfectly fine. It is really very accurate even at a low flow rate.

smaller is better

It comes with 2x2' hood, but if you have smaller registers, all you need to do is to take the hood off and use base to measure flow from smaller registers. This is a very clever solution. The tool is lightweight, so its easier to work with it too. Now, Alnor is my favorite brand.

CEC etc.

When I search for climate control tools, I always prefer those certified by CEC - california energy commission), as that state usually starts trends that are then approved across the nation. You don't by hoods each year, so you want to make sure you get one to use for 5 or more years. Besides Alnor hoods come with NIST, so I know they are accurate.

Great for testing

Great for testing low flow registers on a home. We use them all the time on thousands of homes and have found consistent results across several balometers.

accurate at low flow

Its been working really great with low flow systems. Very accurate, so don't need to guess anymore, when balancing lo flow systems. This has been a very good addition to my tool box.
