Notes: Static Pressure is in "H2O, Air volume is in CFM

NC values were determined by subtracting 10 dB from the sound power level for room absorption.
Throw data is presented for terminal velocities of 50-100-150 ft./min.
Laboratory tests were performed on the 1/2"Bar Spacing 0 Deflection Diffusers unit in accordance
with ASHRAE 70-1991 "Method of Testing for Rating the Performance of Air "Outlets and Inlets".
